A member asked:
Will there ever be a cure for herpes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ever?: The probability is that with the pace of scientific progress being what it is that this will happen someday. But like a vaccine for malaria the number of new problems that arise each time a hopeful candidate is tried, we learn more information about the basic science involved, so there is often progress without practical results.
