is herpes treatable, can it be cured?

Question:

Answers:
Herpes can be treated but there is currently no cure for it.

A person with herpes can take medication every day, or just when the "feel" an outbreak coming on. I have had genital herpes for 5 years now. I don't take the medication every day, I only take it when I "feel" an outbreak coming. In fact, about half of the people who have recurrent outbreaks of genital herpes feel an outbreak coming a few hours to a couple of days before it happens. They may feel tingling, burning, itching, numbness, tenderness, or pain where the blisters are going to appear. This is called the prodrome.

Herpes can be spread even when the person isn't having an outbreak. According to Valtrex, 70% of people with genital herpes got it from their partner when they were showing no signs or symptoms of the virus.

But no, there are no cures for viruses. None of the viral STDs are curable. This includes hepatitis C, herpes, HIV/AIDS, and HPV (Human papillomavirus)

Other Answers:
yes and no. It can be treated with acyclovir, but it can never be cured and you'll always have the chance of passing it on.

Herpes symtpoms and outbreaks can be reduced with medication, but the disease still remains in the body even when treated.

Is it curable?
There is currently no cure for any form of the Herpes virus.

All of the above are true...and to add one more thing to the mix...it is possible to transmit it to your partner even if you don't currently have any symptoms. So, wear a condom.

herpes is not curable but can be treated with meds. and stop out breaks and if i am not mistaken if your on meds you can still spread it it also depends on what type you have

Yes it is treatable no it carn't be cured if you have been infected you will always have the virus in your system

Herpes is treatable but not curable

yes and no NOT YET. Thats why we always have SAFE SEX too late for you now.

Herpes medication generally consist of three types of drugs: acyclovir (Zovirax), valacyclovir (Valtrex) and famciclovir (Famvir). All three work to hasten the healing of herpes sores and can also work to suppress an outbreak. However, they cannot prevent herpes transmission nor are they a herpes cure. Currently, there is no cure for herpes
