What's next? CRISPR/Cas appears to be better able to combat active HSV-1 infections than existing drugs. However, follow-up research is urgently needed to apply this in a targeted manner.

Up until now, the targets of the adjective have been chosen at random. It is now important to determine exactly where the adjective can best be directed so that the cutting is as effective as possible.

It might then be possible to find and eliminate not only the active virus but also the dormant virus. Consequently, the virus will no longer be able to reactivate. It must also be determined how the CRISPR/Cas can be effectively delivered to those infected cells.

Herpes whitlow?

Hi everyone, I’m dealing with something odd and I’m hoping for some advice. I’ve been getting small white spots on my fingers usually one per finger, mostly near the nail. They burn or sting a little. I also noticed a similar spot on the palm of my left hand.

These spots tend to show up around the same time my cold sore appears on my lip (the cold sore itself is tiny and barely visible). I got my first cold sore about six weeks ago, so I’m worried I might have somehow transferred it to my hands. Could this be herpes whitlow, or does it sound like something else?

Curious to hear what you all think.

HIV

Hi Reddit,

On June 21st, I had what I believe was a high‑risk HIV exposure with a woman who turned out to be a professional dancer from Ukraine. The sex was with a condom, but there were two spots on the area not covered by the condom that looked similar to herpes. The spots were not open or bleeding.

The day after the encounter, I developed a sore throat and a white tongue, and these symptoms have continued for 12 days now. I’m worried about whether these could be signs of acute HIV infection, or if this is more likely to be anxiety.

After removing the condom, I wiped away some semen near the urethral opening. I also used my finger inside her vagina for a while, which has added to my concern and then tested the taste of lube with the same fingers

I’m planning to take an HIV RNA test on July 6th.

Kind regards.

Do I need to prepare for the worsed or still extremely low change🫣
