Herpes Pill Might Control HIV
Herpes Pill Might Control HIV – Researchers reported Friday that a pill developed to fight herpes might help control the AIDS virus.
The drug’s called valacyclovir and it’s prescribed to people with genital herpes and, less often, people with cold sores caused by a different strain of herpes.
Doctors had known that treating herpes in HIV patients infected with both viruses seemed to help control the HIV infection. Other studies have shown that if you give people drugs to fight HIV, they not only stay well — they are less likely to infect someone else.
