Our Herpes Cure Advocacy Goals

We’re advocating for better treatment urgently, because patients (moms, sisters, friends, coworkers) are waiting.

• A functional cure for Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1 and HSV-2) that eliminates the latent virus
• A preventative vaccine
• At minimum, increased effectiveness in antiviral treatments that eliminate viral shedding and physical symptoms
• Better representation of patients in guidelines and policy
• Improved surveillance and rollout of comprehensive STI testing guidelines include Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1 and HSV-2) from the CDC
