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.
