    thanks doc, i dont care about the other thread its ...lets go with the fact!!
    http://www.herpes.org.uk/

    1.Most people have herpes simplex - 70% have facial herpes (cold sores) and 10% have genital herpes in the UK. These figures are even higher in other countries including the USA and the developing world.
    2.Three quarters don't know they have it: 1 in 4 will have no symptoms; 2 in 4 will have only mild symptoms and are unlikely to be diagnosed; 1 in 4 will have more noticeable symptoms and will be diagnosed.
    3.Herpes simplex is seldom of any medical importance - some people are quite ill when they catch it but so are some people who catch flu.
    4.It is not incurable - your immune system cures it very well and stops recurrences for most people.
    5.There are good treatment methods for the unlucky few - medication or herbal treatments and improved lifestyle management.
    6.It's not the only infection that stays with us once we catch it - chickenpox and glandular fever also hide in the body but no one makes a fuss about them.

    .....my conclusion'' virus is virus'' it is not incurable we need to have strong immune system to stop recurrence, just like flu nothing pyschological to worry about.stress makes it worst!!

    with regards to ''acyclovir'' or any other viral medications it will just help it recognize the virus but it will not stop it from entering the system and eventually acquiring it.

    Agreed Mari, the Herpes Viruses Association spends a lot of time calming people down with the facts . Some of what you quote is over-estimation in my opinion, however.
    The ONLY time transmitting these viruses might remotely be considered " grievous bodily harm " is if someone with obvious lesions forced contact with another person against their will. But since it's not life threatening, unlike HIV, that should be rejected as an ignorant and ridiculous over - reaction . In the vast majority of cases we don't have symptoms or even know we're infected, or believe we're cured ( through ignorance ) because previous lesions have disappeared . Those who read this thread and your link will hopefully be informed and re-assured .

    They are different families of viruses Steve.
    The Human Papilloma Virus ( HPV ) family has more than 60 sub-types causing various warty lesions.
    These include " common warts " ( verrucas ) on the hands, fingers, and face ; plantar warts on the soles of the feet ; plane warts ( same distribution but flat - topped ) which are harmless but infectious and may be painful. They're often picked up in communal changing rooms or swimming pools and they can be destroyed by freezing for example, or excised. They eventually disappear spontaneously.
    Anogenital warts are more serious and associated with cervical cancer or oral cancer. There's a vaccine ( "Cervarix" or "Gardasil" ), best given before sexual activity starts. This was discussed in another thread :-
