i wonder if herpes will exist in 1,000 years

[Hockeyawesome1]

Hmm

[Cas9]

I never wonder about that.

And 1,000 years they didn’t either!

Lol, humanity may not exist in 1000 years, in fact its highly unlikely that most of humanity wont have gone extinct by then. If the super unlikely scenario would happen where humanity does indeed survive the major evolvement in technology for the coming 1000 years without a massive extinction, then there is pretty much 0 chance that a full cure will not exist.

HUMANS have come up with several things that works really good on keeping down herpes in animals. There will come a time when medicine will be researched through AI itteration, of course developing this is not a very easy task but it´s actually not very far away either. In case you didnt already know, super advanced bots that are being developed in games with hidden information is actually being tested in games with the purpose of later being used for solving advanced puzzles in medicine.

Also look up nanobots for virus curing. On paper, the art of eliminating herpes is really quite simple. You just need a device small enough to enter the nerves where it rests and manage to target the virus, preferably without destroying the cells. I cant answer if the nanobots that are currently being developed are small enough, but making them smaller once you have the technology up and running should happen just as surely as computers will get faster and faster for every year.

As far as I know the main problem that something like nano sized robots are facing is not entering the body and performing the task, it´s actually finding out how to get rid off the bots after they performed the task.

Humans will exist in 1000 years. HSV will no longer exist in 1000 years. In 100 years, HSV will be curable for anyone who can afford it. We are just beginning to master the genome. In 50 years we'll be able to manipulate it at a rate faster than evolution can produce counter-changes. At that point, we will decide what microbes will be able to live within us.

To be honest, there are several top dogs in intellectual fields who say that humanity has almost no chance of surving the AI evolution. There are so many things that can go wrong and with technology adapting, one little mistake somewhere in the world could be enough.

I think you guys are a bit too focused on DNA editing by the way. Sure it could work and all but I dont see why this wouldnt be cured just like pretty much all other viruses once we start using nanorobots in human bodies. That technology is not 50 years away, more like 20-25 or perhaps even less. As far as I know we already have an engine that they can run on. Personally though I don´t really care that much about what is to come in 20 years+ , CRISPR is relevant because it is happening right now of course.  I´m just hoping for better treatment in any form right now because although valtrex isnt bad it just isnt enough. I mean at least try to develope some kind of topical treatment to remove heal the skin from lessions etc.

Maybe when humans create Nanobots that will create Picobots that will create Femtobots that will create Attobots that will create Zeptobots that will create Yoctobots.

 

I just hope they will listen to their creator

But it is virus,after 100 years it will try to change its own form.

Virus also will learn and adopt things like humans.

Every living thing will try to dominate in the world including humans and viruses.

I don’t wanna think about it.. I might be no longer exists 1000 years from now
