When people are first diagnosed, the common reaction is to faithfully keep up-to-date on the latest news on a cure for herpes. There are some news sources that can be trusted and there are many, many others that couldn't even pass for actual sources. A truly promising study comes from the University of Florida; Dr. Bloom & Co. was awarded $50K by Pepsi to do their research. So yes, occasionally the news will tell us there's a possibility for a legitimate cure, but it seems just out of our reach sometime in the future. Whether or not the physical cure for herpes is coming anytime soon, ultimately the biggest "problem" herpes poses isn't the physical symptoms at all, but the psychological.
There may be no physical cure in sight to rid the virus from your system, but if you suffer from depression, feelings that you won't be able to find someone to love you, feelings of worthlessness, fear of being rejected, then you need a psychological cure for herpes, not a physical one. An occurrence of herpes is a whole lot more in one's mind than simply a bump that shows up "down there;" it brings with it all the stigma that society has built up around it, all the things you have heard from the media and your friends and strangers alike, the demeaning jokes you've heard... so really the herpes occurrence is a very small physical trigger that represents all of this and sets off a huge psychological reaction.
What is key here is to recognize this first before letting your mind go off the deep end an assuming the worst about this little virus. Don't let herpes represent all of those horrible things to you. That's your decision.
So yes, a cure for the most painful part of herpes is definitely close at hand. Or should I say it's in your head. Start thinking in a way that is fair to you and your life. You deserve it.
