There's no point denying that herpes is one of those serious diseases that affect not only adult people but as well as children. The reality of having young children infected by the virus simply means that we should not associate it with STDs, to somehow lessen the shame and burden that herpes victims are suffering. I recently came across a report saying that the disease, just like HIV, has no cure. Only those who have no confidence and hope will say such a nasty statement.
I've been writing in this blog for several months now, and I've chronicled researches and studies by
health care providers about the possibilities of treating the malignant disease. There's an article in sciencedaily.com regarding a certain medical study on female hormones as a weapon for stopping the spread of the disease.
Estradiol, like other sex steroids, is derived from the cholesterol in the body. It is found in both men and women and is essential in keeping the sexual function active as well as maintaining a healthy reproductive system. Based on the study, female estradiol also helps the immune system to build a strong line of defense against STDs including herpes. Those who conducted the study said that they'll be creating
herpes vaccines made in estradiol to protect more women.
