Suppressing Herpes Virus May Reduce Infectiousness Of HIV
ScienceDaily (Nov. 16, 2007) — A recent study of men co-infected with herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) and HIV revealed that drugs used to suppress HSV decrease the levels of HIV in the blood and rectal secretions, which may make patients less likely to transmit the virus.  


Herpes Medication Does Not Reduce Risk Of HIV Infection In Individuals With HSV-2, Study Finds
ScienceDaily (Feb. 9, 2008) — An international clinical trial has found that acyclovir, a common medication for treating herpes simplex virus-2 (HSV-2), the most common cause of genital herpes, does not reduce the risk of HIV infection when taken by people infected with HSV-2. Multiple studies have shown that people with HSV-2 have a higher risk of acquiring HIV. Researchers had hoped that acyclovir's ability to suppress the herpes virus, and its associated genital sores and breaks in the skin, could cut down on the likelihood of HIV being transmitted to a person with HSV-2 during sexual intercourse.

麦子，你说的可以用来治疗癌症的消息是这个吗？Herpes Virus Can Be Used As Nanomachines For Cancer Treatment
ScienceDaily (Oct. 17, 2007) — Herpes viruses, though not life-threatening, are usually considered to be embarrassing and annoying. Researchers at the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine, however, are using the virus to potentially fight breast cancer, which, according to the American Cancer Society, is the most common cancer among women.

Research Holds Promise For Herpes Vaccine
ScienceDaily (Oct. 16, 2006) — A study by a Montana State University researcher suggests a new avenue for developing a vaccine against genital herpes and other diseases caused by herpes simplex viruses.

'Achilles' Heel' Of The Herpes Virus Possibly Found
ScienceDaily (Jul. 25, 2005) — SAN FRANCISCO -- It's one of the most common viruses in America, and one that causes the most guilt and shame. It can get inside almost any kind of human cell, reproduce in vast numbers, and linger for years in the body, causing everything from recurrent genital blisters to sores around the mouth. Its complications can kill, and it may increase susceptibility to many nerve and brain disorders.
如果是真的话，我们就有希望。

seagull,我仔细看了你摘录的两段文字,

最近的研究显示同时患有疱疹和爱滋病的患者使用抑制疱疹病毒的药物,可以减低患者血液和生殖道内分泌物中的HIV病毒含量,从而可能减低患者HIV的传染性.

国际临床实验发现,阿昔洛韦,一种治疗2型疱疹(大多引起生殖器疱疹)的药物,无法降低患有生殖器疱疹的感染HIV病毒的风险.大量的研究表明2型疱疹患者感染HIV的风险非常高.研究者本希望阿希洛韦抑制疱疹病毒,以及相关由其引起的生殖器溃疡及皮损,从而降低性交中2型疱疹患者感染 HIV病毒的几率.


所以,这2篇文章说的内容是不一样的,前一篇文章说的是抑制疱疹病毒的药物能够减低爱滋病病人的体内的病毒浓度.
第2篇文章说的是抑制疱疹病毒的药物(阿希洛韦)不能减低生殖器疱疹患者感染HIV病毒的风险.

seagul,你说呢?

是的，你说的是这样。
但是减低血液中的HIV浓度我的理解是可以减少传染的风险的。
到底减低到不传染还是仅仅是减少HIV的浓度，保命而已；还是减少到降低传染性？

顶起，　兄弟．
