There's no money for anything at this point. research for herpes is greatly stalled unfortunately, especially since valtrex and famvir both went generic.  unfortunately the treatments we currently have, work too darn good for it to be worth all the money it takes for new treatments and theracines to be a priority.

until things hit phase 3 trials, I give little attention to them. Too many years of watching studies that seem promising and totally tank in phase 3.  once something hits a phase 3, I promote it heavily and encourage folks to participate.

I'm sorry Grace....but do you not think that the Agenus HerpV vaccine, the Vical vaccine, or even the possible new class of helicase primase antivirals (AIC 316) are promising?  They may all be 5 years or more away, but that is still in my lifetime!
