HSV and Herpes

HSV infection causes several distinct medical disorders. Common infection of the skin or mucosa may affect the face and mouth (orofacial herpes), genitalia (genital herpes), or hands (herpes whitlow). More serious disorders occur when the virus infects and damages the eye (herpes keratitis), or invades the central nervous system, damaging the brain (herpes encephalitis).

Patients with immature or suppressed immune systems, such as newborns, transplant recipients, or AIDS patients are prone to severe complications from HSV infections. HSV infection has also been associated with cognitive deficits of bipolar disorder, and Alzheimer's disease, although this is often dependent on the genetics of the infected person.

In all cases HSV is never removed from the body by the immune system. Following a primary infection, the virus enters the nerves at the site of primary infection, migrates to the cell body of the neuron, and becomes latent in the ganglion. As a result of primary infection, the body produces antibodies to the particular type of HSV involved, preventing a subsequent infection of that type at a different site.

In HSV-1 infected individuals, seroconversion after an oral infection will prevent additional HSV-1 infections such as whitlow, genital herpes, and keratitis. Prior HSV-1 seroconversion seems to reduce the symptoms of a later HSV-2 infection, although HSV-2 can still be contracted. Most indications are that an HSV-2 infection contracted prior to HSV-1 seroconversion will also immunize that person against HSV-1 infection.

The virus requires physical contact to spread, and accordingly it is possible for the virus to spread to other points on the infected individual's body prior to seroconversion. This can occur after the virus presents itself on the hands or fingers which can occur via masturbation or simply prodding an infected site. Grooming can also spread the virus, for example via shaving, or simply by rubbing the infected areas vigorously with a towel. A classic case would be a toddler with a primary oral infection sucking his thumb and giving himself a herpetic whitlow.

The cure for herpes symptoms is dependent on which strain of the virus is contracted. Cures for herpes only relieve the symptoms but do not eradicate the virus. Finding the cure for herpes is really tough. Unlike HPV (the virus that causes warts), which is satisfied and content with simply nestling into skin tissue, the herpes virus opts to burrow deep into the system. Cures for herpes would have to do the same.

Antiviral medications can reduce the frequency, duration, and severity of outbreaks. Antiviral drugs also reduce asymptomatic shedding; it is believed asymptomatic genital HSV-2 viral shedding occurs on 20% of days per year in patients not undergoing antiviral treatment, versus 10% of days while on antiviral therapy. Non-prescription analgesics can reduce pain and fever during initial outbreaks. Topical anesthetic treatments such as prilocaine, lidocaine or tetracaine can also relieve itching and pain.

Herpes infections are much more common than most people realize. Yet strangely, herpes cures are among the most difficult dermatological treatments to have success with. Sure, there are antiviral drugs available, which can help, but they take time to process through the digestive tract to have a full systemic effect on herpes. A cure is needed immediately once an outbreak appears. Pills often take time to take effect and are not a cure for herpes virus infections when full blown.

HSVCurative is a potent all natural antiviral cure for herpes, highly effective against HSV1 and HSV2, it has a wide spectrum of antiviral activity against these viruses, even for genital herpes. The cure in this treatment has the ability to inactivate and destroy HSV, which has been established in published clinical trials. It is to be applied directly to an outbreak.

HSVCurative is used specifically to treat HSV1 and HSV2 infections and acts as a curative agent against both these strains of herpes. It exhibits a pronounced anti-herpetic activity against HSV1 and HSV2 and, unlike other cures for herpes, actually kills these viruses upon exposure regardless of location on the body.

HSVCurative is formulated at maximum strength and has produced spectacular results above other potential herpes cures in eliminating herpes outbreaks in almost all known cases of use on herpes. It is possibly the most powerful and effective topical herpes treatment on the market, providing total clearance of outbreaks time after time. To learn more, please go to http://www.bcured.net.
