[DIYbio] Re: Avoiding Herpes Silmplex

Thanks!
I was at the pharmacy the afternoon (Sunday, had to drive 20 kilometers to the next pharmacy whose turn emergency service was this weekend) and he gave me exactly a cream containing aciclovir.

But if I had to guess, it won't change much. If the virus would already have integrated into a cell, over night it would have infected other cells and then gotten to a nerve cell where it may remain dormant. But I don't know how fast that virus works.

So I'm contnuing my emergency lent diet, with garlic, zink, gerean tea, wild hop I spotted, and aciclovir. Gotta give those virus particles (if they are present, anyway^^) hell. Or at least, to to silence my conscience.


Would also be nice to develop a gene therapy against it, but unfortunately it's illegal. But the virus also doesn't care violating the law by engineering my genome :P Silencing the replication protein with another virus? Oligonucleotide-mediated gene targeting?
I should start a trial one day :D


It definitely is scary, recieving a sexually-transmitted disease by just touching the cup of another person. Also if 90% of humans already encountered it. Starting in 2014, herpes vaccination will be free of charge in my contry. Shouldn't have waited for that :P
