I had just read that a herpes vaccine and a hpv vaccine will soon be out. Is this a cure or just a treatment?

Question

I was just wondering if the vaccine will completely get rid of the diseases.

Answer 1

Vaccines do not get rid of the virus if a person already has it. Vaccines ONLY prevent a person from contracting the virus, and even then, they don't work all the time. Many children receive a vaccine for chickenpox when they are young, but a lot of children will still get it (including me!).

I have not heard of one for herpes, but I have heard of the one for HPV. It is called Gardasil. It protects against 4 different kinds of HPV. Two that are known to cause cervical cancer and two that cause genital warts. Types 16 and 18 cause about 70% of cervical cancer cases, while types 6 and 11 cause about 90% of genital warts. I've heard the vaccine should be due out later this year or possible the beginning of next year, it was just approved by the FDA back in June.

I have also heard many doctors and Merck and Co. (the company that makes the vaccine) suggest that every young woman should get the vaccine, whether they have HPV already or not. I read right off the Merck and Co. website that many people don't have ALL four of the kinds of HPV that the vaccine protects against. So, if a person only has one of those kinds of HPV the vaccine protects against, and gets the vaccine, it's possible for them to now be protected from getting any of the other three they don't already have.

I have had HPV for over 5 years now and I STILL plan on getting the vaccine. I know it's not going to cure me, but if I can prevent getting any of the other kinds I don't already have, I will.

Those two diseases are virus's that will never go away. A vaccine is something that prevents you from getting a virus.Usually want happens is they find a disease that is similar to a disease and they infect you with it. Then when your body is exposed the the virus that you have been vaccinated by, it thinks you've already got it. So you don't get it. When people get the small pox vaccine they are actually getting the cow pox. Because there were studies done on people that were exposed to cow pox that didn't get small pox. But if you already have them they wont ever go away. Your body will fight off a virus, but there is no cure for it once you have it. That is same thing for the common cold. You can treat the symptoms. But you can't cure it. When someone has a bacterial infection like strep or a STD like goneria that can be cured by taking an antibiotic, but a virus can't be cured. Like AIDS. They will probably never find a cure for it, but someday they will hopefully find a vaccine to prevent people from getting it. Unfortunately that is something that obviously your body can't fight off.

Answer 5

I've heard they're really pushing HPV vaccine for really young women who've yet to become sexually active. As some of the other posters eluded to, you can't cure a virus that you already have, so it would stand to reason that the effectiveness for really young girls (13 and under, I'd say) would be nearly 100%. I would urge all young women to have it, regardless of whether they have HPV already or not. I'm 24, and HPV-free, as far as I know, and plan to get it ASAP.

I've not heard of a Herpes vaccine.

Answer 6

there is no cure for hpv this only prevents people from getting the most common types of hpv

wow that David guy above me is very wrong in his beliefs

i have been following this vaccine for over 2 years now for business reasons.
Merck calls theirs Gardasil and GSK will have one out very soon
the vaccines appear to be 100% effective in the case of women

HPV is a retrovirus meaning it writes its self into your DNA. So actually if you looked at someones DNA you can see every virus they have ever had

Answer 7

I've heard of the hpv vaccine only. it is out now. its called gardasil and most doctors are giving the vaccinations. i would say check with your insurance co. first to see if they cover it so you don't have to pay out of pocket because it is costly. see if your insurance can write u a letter or something saying it is covered because my doctor says some insurance co, say they cover and then turn around and don't pay up.
my doctor is charging 550 for the vaccination and you must pay up front. however, my insurance says it is covered. so i am going to get it. it is safes it is safe for those who do and do not have HPV. because usually those that HPV don't have the strain that's being vaccinated against. i think it is a good investment or birthday, Christmas gift or whatever to give your self. this cervical cancer is an ugly thing.
ohh...its not a cure...it does not get rid of the HPV if you already have it...it is "protecting" your body from those strains (4 types) that cause warts & cervical cancer if you so happen to come in contact with it.

Answer 8

I got clinically diagnosed with herpes simplex virus (type 2) about five yrs ago, when I was still attending college and had a stupid one-night stand. I know a lot of girls will declare this, but I swear I had certainly not done that sort of thing before. I just made a huge mistake that one time and suddenly I felt like I was going to have to live with the consequences for my entire life. The worst part was feeling I could never date men again. After all, who wants to go out with a girl that has sores around her you-know-what? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/2Ifoj everything changed.

Not only was I able to clear away all traces of the herpes virus from my system in less than 3 weeks, but I was also able to begin dating once more. I even met the man of my dreams and I'm so fortunate to write that just last week, in front of everybody in a crowded restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me! This system provided the chance to be happy and experience true love. Now I want to help you too by sharing this with the World.

Answer 9

there is a study that says that 82% of people that take valtrex 500 mg for 3 years never have another herpes outbreak. Practically a cure.

Answer 10

It's another way for the drug companies to make money. The theory of vaccination has no scientific validity.
There is no proof that a vaccine ever prevented illness, but significant proof that vaccines cause illness.
Never let anyone vaccinate you or your child with anything
