Any cure for herpes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Curing Herpes: The simple answer is no. But, there is a way to treat any outbreak and a way to suppress outbreaks. Herpes is the name for two different but similar viral infections. The herpes type on generally is found in the oral or mouth region and herpes type two is thought to be more likely transmitted sexually and is found somewhere between the belly button and thighs. Treated is possible not cured.
