A member asked:
Do you think there's ever going to be a cure for herpes? or are people already trying to find a cure? do you think there's a chance of finding a cure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: At this time there is not a cure however we can keep herpes suppressed with medication. In some people, lysine (an Amino Acid - a supplement) at a dose of 1000mg daily also works to suppress herpes.
