It is a huge leap from successful testing in mice to success in human trials. Also, it will take an abundance of funding to bring this to fruition. Whether it is the stigma of genital herpes, or the already profitable anti-viral medications in existence, there has consistently been a lack of funding for a herpes vaccine. A herpes vaccine will also be of limited value to those of us already infected with HSV.
While rooting for a future vaccine our best treatment is education and immuno support. Don't be at war or fight the herpes in your body. Focus, build and have gratitude for the health and immunity in your body. This alone will help to reduce outbreaks.
