can you curle herpes?


Question:


Answers:
No- at this point there is only treatment. Several antiviral medications are available to treat genital herpes. These medications can relieve symptoms, shorten the length of outbreaks, and prevent some recurrent outbreaks. They cannot cure genital herpes nor prevent all recurrent outbreaks. A vaccine to prevent herpes infection is not available at this time, but several are being studied and may be available soon.

Other Answers:
no

You cannot cure herpes. Once you have it, you have it for life.

You cannot cure herpes per se but you can prevent an outbreak by boosing your immune system. I would suggest looking into L-Lysine supplements. You can take an oral tablet and you can also get a topical cream to apply directly to an outbreak. This supplement can be purchased at your local health food store. You can also eat alot of garlic to boost your immune system. People who I have talked to who have done this have kept their outbreaks at bay for years. Good luck.

Can't be cured. If you get it, you have it for life. Even though there are medicines to help prevent some outbreaks of it, herpes CAN be passed on to your sexual partner even if you have no outward symptoms of an outbreak! It's best to use a condom every time.

There is no cure at the present for herpes, just treatment to keep in under control.
