Herpes virus, i have it but i don't understand why there is no cure can someone explain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Herpes simplex: This virus acts like a squatter in that once it enters your body it is virtually impossible to evict. It lives in nerve endings and can come out and produce symptoms at any time, but most often when something else is producing stress. Current antivirals inhibit but do not kill this virus.
