Herpes
Cont. from pg. 9
by swollen glands, general mus
cle aches, and sometimes fever.
In addition, a burning sensation
when urinating or a mild vaginal
discharge may occur. Eventually,
usually within three weeks, the
sores crust over and heal com
pletely. This marks theend of the
active phase of herpes.
The virus, however is still
present in the body and it now
enters a dormant phase. In the
genital HSV infection, the virus
enters nerve endings and even
tually lodges in nerve cells
outside the spinal canal. From
here it can emerge periodically
to attack the genitals, buttocks,
and thighs. In most cases the
virus awakens from its dormant
state to cause new, less severe
sores that last from 7-14 days.
These lesions are summoned by
menstruation, fever, or stress.
As of vet, no reliable cure for
heroes has been found.
However, a new drug discovered
by the United States Food and
Drug Administration called
acyclovir has shown sustained
promise in the war against
Herpes. In addition, several
other laboratories in the United
States, Britain, and many other
countries in Europe are claiming
encouraging results with other
anti- herpes drugs. Scientists are
expecting a reliable cure for
herpes -most likely in vaccine
form- to be available for the
public in the next five years.
Until then, for those who have
contracted the- disease, there is
treatment available towards
relieving the pain, itching, and
burning of active sores and
preventing their becoming
further infected. For more infor
mation, contact the Centers for
Disease Control at 329-3311 or
the Spelman College Family
Planning Clinic at 68T-6843 ext.
