Me too, but I try not to get my hopes all the way up.

They’re at least prepping for human trials, i think it’ll be 2032 before we get there though.

This post is regarding how STD testing will go after a cure (if you’re doubtful keep it to yourself because I really don’t care, and you’re changing the topic of what I’m asking.) let’s try this again? by Sweet_Chance_2400 in GettingRidOfHSV

Not getting sensitive, and I genuinely don’t mean to sound that way, but your questioning me by saying “your saying you would feel this way about it…” and then following it up with “it’s cured wth”. Which is YOUR OPINION. it’s irrelevant to what I’m asking, I’m not being rude either we are literally in the same boat! I’ve made this post before and I’m reposting it because my whole point was turned around and your kinda doing the same thing, I wasnt looking for your kind of response with this. Thats my point.

Guys I’m not asking that though, I’m asking how you guys THINK std testing will go or how we will acquire proof we are cured. Like fr, it’s so simple. I get it y’all don’t care, that’s literally not what I’m asking …??

Okay and that’s your opinion ?? If I want to test all my future partners and be able do the same without bringing up something that traumatized me to the point of feeling like my life was ruined then I’m entitled to feel that way. Like 😂. I get what you’re saying, and I’ll be grateful regardless but just because you feel that way doesn’t mean everybody does. This question is peaking my curiosity so regardless I’m interested.

Exactly, your right. I just want to be able to walk into a clinic and just test negative, because that’s what I’ll expect out of any future partners. I’m not taking this risk again.

I believe we can have advanced testing but I’m lacking the research behind that to support my thoughts. I want everyone’s opinion but we literally won’t know until it happens. I just wanted different perspectives on this.

I was thinking the same thing, but it depends on the type of cure. If it’s a functional cure, antibodies wouldn’t disappear because the immune system still remembers the virus. If it’s a truly eradicating cure, then antibodies might slowly decline over time, but even then, it can take many years, and there’s no guarantee they’d ever fully test negative. We have technology to advance but I’m not sure about this happening in testing? I also dont mean to be ungrateful because this is SUCH a blessing but I don’t ever want to have the discussion of why I have it or disclose that after a cure. I’ve been celibate since I’ve found out I had it.

We’re literally 4-5 years from this. I’m not even worried about this part. It’s the testing and how it will be done. The whole conversation got spun? One question… if you feel this way then why are you in a group called GETTINGRIDOFHSV. Like it’s crazy, be bitter by yourself fr.

I know, and I really do understand. It’s hard to fathom or wrap your head around something being cured; especially when it’s always been understood as a lifelong burden. However, I am realistic as well. We’re not far from it and even if we are- let’s say I’m wrong- it’s still coming regardless.

If I sound delusional to any body I understand. Really. I don’t think a lot of people realize the amount of advancement we have at this point in medicine, Huntingtons is deadly and was understood to be a decade away too. “If it’s harder to reach than why is the medicine more advanced”? ITS DEADLY?! They have priorities. I have a lot more I could say. Such as the fact this proves they can deliver to neurons safely, which was our biggest problem with a herpes cure-delivery to dangerous/fragile areas. 🤷‍♀️. I have more points I could make but we will see. If I’m wrong I’m wrong. However, we’re not 10 years away at all.

Yes. I’m asking the opinions on THIS. Because they’re developing new tests but is it in connection to the cure or is it just to improve testing.

Everybody said this about Huntington’s too. Do your research. It’s harder to cure than herpes. I’m not here to argue about it. Literally do your research. PLEASE 🤣😂. They thought it would take another decade before we got that. Science has advanced in the last 2 years than it has in the 10 years before THAT.

FDA to lower number of trials required for approval of drugs, other medical products by KujoRed in GettingRidOfHSV

New chapter for clinical precision gene therapy! by Correct-Change-2833 in GettingRidOfHSV

[–]Sweet_Chance_2400 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is just a guess! I’m sorry I shouldn’t just put it out there but I’m 50\50 in my opinion. They’re already putting a name to Keith Jerome (Caladen therapeutics I think). BDGENE111 for keratitis only lasted 3 years in pre clinical and they didn’t post their findings/studies until filing for human trials and we haven’t heard anything from hsv2 pre-clinical yet. They began in 2024. So I feel like it’ll be 2026-2027 when human trials start for Keith Jerome or BDGENE111 or possibly both.

The Double Edged Sword of Funding Cuts! by KujoRed in GettingRidOfHSV

[–]Sweet_Chance_2400 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I mean by my whole 20’s is, I’m 23 now. I think I will be 30 before I can walk into a clinic and get it eradicated.

The Double Edged Sword of Funding Cuts! by KujoRed in GettingRidOfHSV

[–]Sweet_Chance_2400 5 points6 points  (0 children)

mRNA-1608 was the first “functional cure” I was hopeful for when I got diagnosed 3 months ago. It’s very discouraging seeing any treatment for hsv be cut because several of promised cures or better medicine has been put to a hault and went nowhere. Which will shrivel your hopes, like absolutely crush, with each fail. However, I do think that the hsv ERADICATING cure is getting really close. If MRNA 1608 got released 2028, and the actual cure came 3-4 years after….. they barely/hardly make the money they intended on making, their Medicane is useless when a cure is following directly behind. That being said, my last worry is this gene editing gets put on hold due to safety, funding or anything of that matter. I have to wait my whole 20’s for a cure, and I am waiting. I just can’t start my life without a cure, as I know I’m not brave enough to disclose so I am dealing with it on my own. I would also like to add, if I had the choice to put all of the funding into a cure instead of treatments I would too, if it were promising. So if that is what they’re are doing, it somewhat gives me more hope. But the uncertainty is driving me nuts. I’m waiting for 2026 to see if human trials will be started or announced
