Potential vaccines for herpes simplex virus (HSV) may prevent or treat symptoms of an HSV infection. There are a few HSV vaccines currently being studied in humans. Examples include treatment vaccines from Moderna, and a preventative vaccine from BioNTech.
This NOSI, issued by the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, focuses on furthering the development of new products for the prevention of HSV infection and improving the diagnosis and treatment of living with herpes.
Without a herpes preventive vaccine available in 2024, post-infection treatments offer patients their best option. Over the past few years, an antiviral drug named Acyclovir has been used to slow the spreading and lessen the symptoms of the Herpes Simplex Virus 1 (HSV-1) virus.
Dec 21 (Reuters) - BioNtech (22UAy.DE) has dosed the first patient with its BNT163 herpes vaccine candidate designed to prevent genital lesions as part of a first-in-human Phase 1 clinical...
Although there are no currently available vaccines for herpes simplex 1 and 2, there are various candidates in both the pre-clinical and the clinical phases currently in development. Vaccines are being developed with two broad focuses: preventative and therapeutic, some with a dual use.
This article explains the steps that have been taken thus far to develop vaccines for oral and genital herpes, the reasons why these vaccines are important, and the roadblocks keeping researchers from better preventing or controlling herpes infections.
Although there are no licensed vaccines to prevent HSV-1 infection , certain strategies may help reduce the risk of transmitting HSV-1 to someone without prior infection. As an example, when a patient has an active outbreak of oral HSV, patients should avoid kissing or sharing utensils, glasses, water bottles, towels, or lip balm.
The need for a herpes vaccine is clear: about half a billion people worldwide between the ages of 15-49 have genital herpes infection caused by either HSV-1 or HSV-2, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
The need is to integrate scientific efforts to produce a proper cure against HSV to control the virus spread, resistance, and mutation in future disease management.

These vaccines are characterized by stringent, deliberate spatial and temporal control of virus replication with increased safety and better protective immune responses than inactivated RCCVs and replication-defective HSV-1.
