Vaccine for hsv2 right now?



Answer:
There is no vaccine for herpes simplex virus 2 right now.

"Herpevac, a vaccine for HSV-2 is currently (as of February 2007) undergoing clinical testing in women in the United States and Canada. Previous studies have determined that this vaccine is approximately 70% effective in women, but does not prevent the disease in men."

There is a HPV vaccine out called Gardasil. Maybe that is what you are thinking of.
