I hear there's a new vaccine out for Herpes Viral Infections. The STD.? |
Does anyone know how long it takes to work? Is it good immediately? Some things I know take a while to 'kick in'. Then how long does it last? A lifetime? Or do you have to keep getting 're vaccinated' the way you do with teatnus for example? The National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the United States is currently in the midst of phase III trials of a vaccine against HSV-2. The vaccine has only been shown to be effective for women who have never been exposed to HSV-1. Overall, the vaccine is approximately 48% effective in preventing HSV-2 seropositivity and about 78% effective in preventing symptomatic HSV-2. Assuming FDA approval, a commercial version of the vaccine is estimated to become available around 2008. During initial trials, the vaccine did not exhibit any evidence in preventing HSV-2 in males. There is a vaccine out that is new for HPV which is the human papilloma virus, (genital warts). I am pretty sure it is a one time vaccination. Good luck. |
