There is no cure for herpes simplex 1&2. Once a person has the virus, it remains in the body. The virus lies inactive in the nerve cells until something triggers it to become active again.

Dear user. Thanks for the question. Hiv spread through contact between broken skin, wounds, or mucous membranes and hiv-infected blood or blood-contaminated body fluids. Deep, open-mouth kissing if both partners have sores or bleeding gums and blood from the hiv-positive partner gets into the bloodstream of the hiv-negative partner. Hiv cannot spread through saliva. Take care.

kindly dont use any steroid (Beclomethasone) for herpes.. it may flare up to dangerous level. Acyclovir is for herpes and Salicylic is for wart. Single size shirt doesn't fit everyone.

There is no cure for herpes. However, there are medicines that can prevent or shorten outbreaks. One of these anti-herpes medicines can be taken daily, and makes it less likely that you will pass the infection on to your sex partner (s).
