In which year we can expect the vaccine available for HSV-2 for the healthy women not having the HSV-2 ?

Answer 1

As usual, Alli is right on the money.

There is a vaccine in development/testing for HSV disease in women (unfortunately it does not work for men).

The immunization is a glycoprotein D-adjuvanted vaccine that has been demonstrated to protect against the acquisition of HSV disease in women who were seronegative (was not exposed to) HSV-1 AND HSV-2, but did not work for those who were already infected with HSV-1. It has not proven effective for men, regardless of whether they had/didn't have HSV-1 or HSV-2.

Protection against HSV disease was about 74% and protection against infection was 46% (seroconversion and symptomatic disease).

This vaccine, if further safety data suggests, may become available within the next decade.

Answer 3

If the FDA approves the vaccine, called Herpevac, it should be available in 2008.

Answer 4

I am not aware that there is a vaccine. Where have you heard about this?
