Experimental DNA vaccine gives full protection against herpes

This is really a great news, people like me are in desperate situation to come out of this & have balanced family life...
wish you all the best...

I would be keen on a HSV-1 cold sore vaccine, which I understand is very closely related to HSV-2. I have always been terrified of contracting cold sores considering how prevalent they are and many people don't care about spreading it.

If cold sores could be cured with the same or similar vaccine, then that would potentially be a much larger market than just HSV-2.

My heartiest congratulations to Professor Ian Frazer and his Team. This is a great news for all those who are working in this feild and interested to work in this area. Dear professor Ian Can you please answer some of my question ? If yes, please reply!

I hope the miracle cure comes to the u.s. soon we need it may the lord bless u all for creating a miracle.

Cant help but wait! Its been 7months in. I just want to live a long joyous life. Science is amazing!

Congratulations

please, i want your vaccine as standard for my research about HSV2.

How i can obtain if you can help me

I have been infected wih HSV-2 a year ago and ever since I get very depressed when I think about it and how I can move on and enjoy a healthy family life with this disease. With this news, I can only pray this works in clinical trials and gets to the market.

At this point, I don't even want a cure! Just a vaccine to stop scaring people away!

i suffer from this depessing virus every 5 weeks it just turns up am im getting rally sick of it sucks carnt even go outside its that embarrassing if i could get a cure for this stupid virus it would be the best day of my life do ya best guys

I just got diganosed the other day, still trying to get my head around it.

I'm of course looking online for as much info as possible. I really hope that this is on the level, and they find a vaccine or even a cure.

Even a vaccine that can protect future partners would be amazing.

It would be great to have a mailing list for updates on this.

How long does it usually take, from animal testing to the actual vaccine to be available? A year? 2?

Cheers.

well... nice info u got there .. i hope it could be used for man to because the last vaccine was just for woman ... damn i hate the blister even it only 2/3 spots , i dont like my "thing" have that water bubbles .. Finish that damn vaccine .. I will give u a vote for NOBEL PRICE :)

i keep trying to convince myself that "its no big deal" to have herpes.. but it is. its driving me insane and everyday i am SO hopeful for help from Coridon in changing my outlook on my life again.

thank you
thank you
thank you

please post MANY updates and any new information that comes up as clinical trials begin!

Ill be waiting for the next 12 months!!!!

That's gonna be a blessing for millions of people who are suffering wuth this dangerous species. Not only me everybody like to participate in clinical trial. Please sir I like to get informed when you guys starting next step because like me everybody sufferer and dealing this dirty species.

thank you for everything you are doing. keep up the good work but please hurry. millions need this.

You guys are inspirational beyond words. Your work will change more lives for the better than other human being has done on this planet, ever. Good Luck and Godspeed!

Please fast track this vaccine or let us know where in America we can join the clinical trials. I am absolutely in love with a guy with hsv2 but I'm scared of contracting it due to complications with pregnancy. Help the world find love with this vaccine.

I am hoping that you can share these stories with Professor Ian Frazer and his team. These are only a few stories from people suffering from HSV - the reality is that there are millions of people around the world afflicted with this virus. HSV testing is also not included in the standard panel of STD tests so many people are not aware that they have HSV as they are asymptomatic but they can easily pass on this virus to others. We URGENTLY need a therapeutic vaccine that can suppress the virus so that it is not passed on to others. Please Professor Frazer help us. Thank you.

Herpes is a 26-year-old took.
Much success to eliminate the virus, send it by damn!
Dr.'re that good! Thank you.

Vinni

Find these people and donate to them, i feel the same, I'll never superficially joke about these things again
This is great work
i've had this for 6 months and counting

I have genital HSV-1 (rare, but it exists), so I would love to see a vaccine or cure for the "cold sore" strain as well as the HSV-2 strain.

To include with my statement above!

I want to thank everyone at Coridon for tackling this herpes virus. By protecting people from becoming infected with one of the most dreadful diseases and/or nearly eliminating, if not curing those already infected, you are honestly providing a miracle for us! I have faith in this current research of yours.

Once again a special thank you to everyone involved with this miracle!

I would like to take the time to thank Coridon and Prof. Frazer for their research in the areas of therapeutic and prophalyphic HSV vaccines and treatments. HSV is a silent disease/infection that is often unknowingly spread to others. I, myself, didn't realize how serious of an epidemic HSV was until recently infected.

My life has changed drastically since the date of my diagnosis last month. The psychological effects of HSV greatly decreases the quality of life of those living with the disease, and I can't imagine living the rest of my life with this stigmatized and widely misunderstood virus.

There are millions of sufferers worldwide that are in desperate need of better treatment options. Although viral suppression does lend some control and sense of normalcy to sufferers, complete eradication/ cure would be ideal and absoultely AMAZING ! You all have plenty of supporters who are anxiously waiting for your vaccine's arrival to the market.

Sigh...Words can't express the gratitude I feel to know SOMEONE is working on a cure(more research is needed). I'm actually a prospective medical student and I plan on doing my own research during/after med-school to find a cure... I guess what hurts the most is the fact that I didn't sleep around. Now, I feel like I can never have an intimate relationship and children because I would hate passing this disease to anyone else. Love is EVERYTHING!!!! Without it, I feel like NOTHING, Please continue to help bring joy to my life :-(

HSV needs a cure and the work you are doing has given hope. While HSV is not considered as a serious health problem by the medical community I assure you it is by those who suffer from it. Additionally, new research is showing that the virus (especially HSV-1) has been linked to Alzheimer's and is perhaps more dangerous then thought- I am actually asymptomatic and would love a cure--it would give me my life (i know this sounds dramatic to someone without HSV)! The truth, This disease destroys the lives of everyday good people who are wonderful, kind, intelligent, hard-working, beautiful,etc... Is there hope? There is DEMAND!!!

HSV1/2 has been linked to:
Alzheimers, Prostate Cancer, Increased Chance of Acquiring HIV, not to mention the pain and suffering that the sores themselves cause.

Please push forward not only a preventative vaccine but also a therapeutic vaccine.

Thanks to all.

Your research gives hope to millions of HSV sufferers - please know how much your work is appreciated. I have had this for several years and not a day goes by that I don't think about it - it has definitely affected my life in so many ways and i worry about my future. We are all anxious to hear updates on your clinical studies and are praying for good news! Thank you for making this a focus! God Bless!

After 27 years I now have hope. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR DEDICATION AND HARD WORK. PRAYING FOR COMPLETE SUCCESS.

thank you so much for giving me and the other suffers hope! i value your dedication and i hope it will pay off soon. Ive been a suffer for a couple of years, i pray that one day i will be HSV 1 free!

This is a psychology and mentally depressing virus. I would love to have meaning in my life again after 1 1/2 years of mental anguish. The depression everyday is slowing killing me with thoughts of hopelessness and not feeling worthy or human...almost like having leprosy Serioulsy this is how this has made me feel and from what I've read others. Please bring us normacy again. When most of the thoughts in your day no matter at work, working out, cooking for your kids, being with friends etc. is on this virus....that is a sad life. Thank you for all that you do and the hard work that comes with giving us hope!

It has been almost 8 years now since my doctor told me I had HSV2 - I have done a lot of soul searching and have found some peace and acceptance - but I still struggle with relationships and my confidence has definitely been affected. Please continue your research and find a cure for the millions of people who struggle with this every day - I'm praying every day that our time has come and Coridon will find a cure. Thank you Professor Ian Frazer and team!

Thank you for you there!
hello my name is erasmo, and recently discovered I am carrying the hsv.
My doctor tried to comfort me by saying that this is not the worst thing in the world, but only someone knows how uncomfortable knowing you have a disease that has no cure.
live the fear of infecting other people and make them go through what I did.
since I discovered to be the bearer of this bad, I'm not the same I'm afraid I relate and I try not to comment on this subject for fear of being discriminated.

so I'm here to thank the effort of Coridon in conjunction with Professor frazer and his team for their initiative in finding a cure for this mal.e say that millions of people around the world are watching, believing and trusting that the dream of a better life is in your hands.

once again thank you for you there ...

This is exciting news and gives me hope that one day I can have my life back! I have suffered from painful outbreaks for several years. I will never give up hope that a cure will be found. Thank you Proferssor Frazer for all of the great work you are doing!

This is great news. So many people are waiting for a cure. Great job, Dr Frazer and team. If it is effective, you will have changed the lives of millions for the better. Thank you!

This is really good news, you are my heros!! I wish you the best for everything, I am so desperate for a cure. I've had this since I was 18 with my first boyfriend, and would really like a second chance at a normal life.

Excellent!! Hsv can really change lives and not necessarily for the better. Those who suffer outbreaks periodically feel especially isolated and usually in trouble to start new relationships or not to spread it to a hsv negative partner. We are millions and millions of people, many of us who caught hsv unknowingly or from an irresponsible person, who need EXACTLY THIS KIND OF MEDICINE TO LEAD A HEALTHY, NORMAL LIFE AGAIN. So, congratulations on your achievement and please keep the good work.

Great work to Dr Fraser and the team!!ive been infected with HSV2 for almost 5 years,although I don't get horrible outbreaks all the time anymore,it was heartbreaking to haves guy who was absolutely in love with me breaking up with me because he's so paranoid that he would catch it too. I can't wait for the day that this vaccine will be available in Australia and around the world to help everyone in the same boat.

Dear dr, can you tell us when u will release this vaccine? We can then have something to look forward to in life.

Thank you dr and team. Never ending thanks

This is wonderful news and I would like to pass on my thanks and congratulations to Professor Frazer and his team. I was diagnosed with HSV2 13 years ago and in the past 18 months I have suffered contant symptoms and outbreaks. It is absolutely depressing and keeping me from finding a loving relationship as I can't imagine passing this on to anyone! It has been a very hard thing for me to live with as I have always been very healthy. The anti-virals on the market now do nothing for me. It would change my life to see this drug on the market! I hope and pray it doesn't take long.

Thank you so much professor lan Frazzer and everybody in your team may the lord bless each and everyone around you and give you the strengh to keep doing what you do thank you so much

I would just like to extend a big THANK YOU to you intelligent and caring individuals who put in countless hours to develop something that will improve the life quality of millions. Im so grateful we live in a time where science is doiing great things and theres great people to move it along. I hope you folks recieve all the respect and funding you deserve ...And just b/c theres only 80 people commenting so far i can guarntee there millions that if made aware of your research would be equally grateful and thankful. Keep up the good work...and btw dont forget people happiness can be achieved with this "problem"!!!!!

This research and cause is imperative to all worldwide, from the afflicted, to the innocent potential victim.This virus changes your whole life, it can completely incapacitate you socially, mentally and physically, and eventually financially.
To the team of researches, I thank you wholeheartedly, and to Monique, kudos to you for your representation and push to get this virus under control.you are the voice of the people!
God speed with this research, and i pray that the funding is there when required. I am sure there are a lot who would gladly throw money at this to make it happen.
This is so important, please don't let this slip by, but acted on immediately.
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT SOCIAL ISSUE. best of luck and persistence to all.

Thank you very much for your hard work and effort. I hope that this vaccine is successful in humans as it would not only improve the quality of life for millions, it will also free up funding for deadier disease. This is a great step forward and way over due. God bless and best wishes always to these hard working scientist and all who work and invest in this company.

First I like to say this has made my day.. I'm still new to the virus and I just want to feel like myself again. THANK YOU for giving me hope.

Please find the cure. I just found out I have it. And now i will never get my wife back. My life has been irrevocably altered . Please contact me if you need a human specimen. I volunteer. I will travel to Australia. Please help and continue your amazing work. You have my sincerest regards.

Dear Professor Frazer and the entire team at Coridon,
Thank you so much for all of your wonderful efforts and advances in finding a cure for HSV. I live in Melbourne and have just been diagnosed with HSV1. The news has devastated me especially since i've led such a careful life. Now my days are not so care-free anymore as the topic of the Herpes virus and how to treat it constantly plagues my mind. But reading this has given me so much hope. I would be absolutely overjoyed and incredibly grateful if you found a cure for HSV 1 & 2...and i'm sure millions of people would be too. Thank you so much for all that you're doing for us.

Dear Professor Frazer & the Team at Coridon,

Thank you so much agai,n for all that you are doing in finding a cure for this mentally, emotionally and financially debilitating disease. I just wanted to request you to please contact me if you need humans for the meidical trials. I would be eternally grateful. My recent and horrible diagnosis has turned my world upside down and I would give anything just to be cured.

strange, after 6 months, no news , or feed back to the public.

First I want to apologize to you because my English isn't good. I am from The Czech Republic.
Thank you very much for everything you have done and you do for people with HSV 2. We need hope and treatment.

To Professor Frazer & the Team at Coridon,

I know you have heard it many times in these posts but THANK YOU for your hard work in finding a cure. So many people's lives will be changed for the better once this is successful including my own.

The day I found out I had Herpes I thought my life was over. I thought I could never have a normal life and have been trying to do so. However everyday I am reminded of what I have and that it supposedly will be with me forever.

If you need someone for clinical testing, I would definitely volunteer. Don't know if you will see this post but Thanks again and Good Luck!

Looks like they're making great progress!

If you pull this off, I'll name my first kid Ian :D

Anyone know how long it takes, after successful human trials, for it to be available?

I am a 32 year old woman and I have been living with hsv type 2 for 8 years . It changed my life so much. I used to love to work out and look pretty but once I was diagnosed I fell in to a huge depression. I gained weight and lost my self esteem. I often have painfull outbreaks that effect my ability to exercise, and often effect my ability to preform my job as well as I would like. I even decided to not have another child due to this disease. I would be extremely greatfull if my husband and I could be considered for your clinical trials when you start doing human trials. I look forward to the day that people like me can live a normal healthy active life and not feel the weight of the stigma this disease has place on our shoulders. Thank you so much for looking at this disease like it is a real health issue and I pray that all of your research is speedy and sucsessfull.

I would take out a loan on my house to pay for a treatment to cure this Disease. I have had it 5 years due to my unfaithful wife and it has been absolute hell. Side affects of current medical treatments are hardwork also. I have tried Chlorine treatment, 20,000mg injections of Vit C , Liquid Zeolite , Urine therapy, Chinese medicine , Homeopathy all of the Natural therapies.... None work. You guys would be LEGENDS to knock this evil HOST off it's high horse. Hope I live to see it.... You want Humans for the trials ??? Get in touch with me ok... I've got nothing to loose. All the Best :}

I hope science will bring joy and healthy normal life back to me. I pray for the cure of this depressing and torturing disease. Thank you scientists! Please succeed!!!

Please cure this virus disease! Please move fast and don't let us wait for too long! Thank you!
