How close are scientists to creating a remedy for herpes, figuratively speaking can we be seeing a break through in 10, 20, or even 3 decades?
Well, there's great news and not so good news around the herpes front. What's promising: Researchers have made serious strides and today better understand the mechanism behind herpes outbreaks. The bad news: There is very little funding for your research.

Nearly 1 in 5 quickly age 12 in the U.S. is affected by herpes. It's caused by a virus - either the herpes virus type 1 (HSV-1) or the herpes virus type 2 (HSV-2). Both strains may cause herpes, but HSV-1 usually infects the mouth and produces cold sores.
