Herpes: More Gay Men are infected with the Virus; The CBCD Reviews a Study

A study found that HSV-2 prevalence among men who have sex with men was 20.3%. (1)

For every year increase in age, the odds of being infected with HSV-2 increased by 5.0%.

ROCHESTER, NY, UNITED STATES, November 29, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- “Infected with the herpes virus (HSV)? The CBCD recommends taking Gene-Eden-VIR or Novirin.” - Greg Bennett, CBCD

A study suggested that gay men are an “at risk,” and “vulnerable” population when it comes to genital herpes infections. (1) As Dr. Brito and colleagues wrote in another study, “Gay men, other men who have sex with men and transgender women (GMT) … are at high risk of acquiring sexually transmitted infections (STIs) … the majority (91%) had a recent history of concurrent sex partners. Only 43% reported using condoms in every sexual encounter. More than half were identified as gay, bisexual or transgender, while almost one-quarter reported being heterosexual. (2) Dr. Brito is from the Division of Infectious Diseases at the University of Illinois.

Yet another study showed that genital herpes (HSV-2) infection rates in the gay male population are higher than in the general population. It also showed that there is a large racial disparity in those infection rates. As Dr. Okafor and colleagues wrote, “In the US, non-Hispanic blacks have the highest life-time seroprevalence (41.8%) of HSV-2 with prevalence nearly four times that of non-Hispanic whites (11.3%).” (3)

The study found that “overall seroprevalence of HSV-2 was 19%, and black MSM were more likely to have HSV-2 infection than white MSM.” Importantly, the researchers found that “for every year increase in age, the odds of being infected with HSV-2 increased by 5.0%.” (3) The study did not explain the reason for these differences.

For those men who are concerned about infection with the latent HSV-2, the CBCD recommends taking Gene-Eden-VIR or Novirin. These natural antivirual products have a formula that was shown to reduce symptoms in two separate post-marketing clinical studies that followed FDA guidelines.

The formula of Novirin and Gene-Eden-VIR was tested by Hanan Polansky and Edan Itzkovitz from the CBCD. The studies showed that the Novirin and Gene-Eden-VIR formula is effective against the herpes simplex virus, and other viruses. The clinical studies were published in the peer reviewed, medical journal Pharmacology & Pharmacy, the first, in a special edition on Advances in Antiviral Drugs. Study authors wrote that, “individuals infected with the HSV … reported a safe decrease in their symptoms following treatment with Gene-Eden-VIR.” (4) The study authors also wrote that, “We observed a statistically significant decrease in the severity, duration, and frequency of symptoms.” (4)

Both products can be ordered online at the Gene-Eden-VIR and Novirin websites, here:

Gene-Eden-VIR and Novirin are natural antiviral dietary supplements. Their formula contains five natural ingredients: Selenium, Camellia Sinesis Extract, Quercetin, Cinnamomum Extract, and Licorice Extract. The first ingredient is a trace element, and the other four are plant extracts. Each ingredient and its dose was chosen through a scientific approach. Scientists at polyDNA, the company that invented and patented the formula, scanned thousands of scientific and medical papers published in various medical and scientific journals, and identified the safest and most effective natural ingredients against latent viruses. To date, Novirin and Gene-Eden-VIR are the only natural antiviral products on the market with published clinical studies that support their claims.

The CDC notes that gay men should “Be Safer: Getting tested regularly and getting vaccinated are both important, but there are other things you can do to reduce your risk for STDs. Get to know someone before having sex with them and talk honestly about STDs and getting tested - before you have sex. Use a condom correctly and use one every time you have sex. Think twice about mixing alcohol and/or recreational drugs with sex. They can reduce your ability to make good decisions and can lead to risky behavior-like having sex without a condom. Limit your number of partners. You can lower your risk for STDs if you only have sex with one person who only has sex with you.” (5)

Are there drugs or vaccines that prevent a herpes infection?

There are no approved drugs or vaccines that prevent a genital herpes infection.

There are “two types of antiviral treatments against HSV, which are currently available: topical and oral. The treatments include penciclovir, acyclovir, famciclovir, and valaciclovir. However, their effectiveness is limited. For instance, a meta-analysis of five placebo-controlled and two dose comparison studies evaluated the effect of aciclovir, famciclovir or valaciclovir on symptoms. The meta-analysis showed that oral antiviral therapy decreases the duration and the associated pain of an outbreak by merely one day.” (4) There are also the natural antiviral remedies Gene-Eden-VIR and Novirin.

“We recommend that individuals who are infected with a latent herpes virus, take Gene-Eden-VIR or Novirin.” – Greg Bennett, CBCD
