A new therapy being developed at the University of Florida could, in time, produce another weapon for the fight against herpes.
The gene-targeting approach uses a specially designed RNA enzyme to inhibit strains of the herpes simplex virus. The enzyme disables a gene responsible for producing a protein involved in the maturation and release of viral particles in an infected cell. The technique appears to be effective in experiments with mice and rabbits, but further research is required before it can be attempted in people who are infected with herpes. You have to be careful of course, while we are closer and getting better at the research, there is still no cure for herpes.
When will the cure be given to general public
