Interesting stats:

the vaccination prevented 70% of women from catching the virus, but not the men. However, un-vaccinated women are twice as likely to catch the virus than men.

Great news! Now, if a cure could be found, I know quite a few people who would be very happy.

Wow, that's extraordinary! Particularly interesting - I didn't realize herpes was such a factor in pregnancy. And, of course, prevent other STDs and you'll decrease the chance of HIV transmission.

Herpes can be easily managed in pregnancy, but sometimes still happens. It can cause blindness and brain damage.

since I updated the cervical cancer vaccination thread, I figured I'd check on the herpes vaccination progress. Canberra is starting a study by vaccinating young women there.

And similar tests are being done in the states. It's just a blip, but it's recent news.
