HHS has released the results of a pilot study into the use of Zovirax cream in patients with genital herpes. The study, which was conducted at a treatment center in Tempe, Arizona, was designed as an exploratory trial, to determine if Zovirax cream is as effective as or comparable to aciclovir cream. HSV-1 and HSV-2 viruses are replication-deficient, and they may be responsible for the symptoms and growth of genital herpes. Once they have developed their pathogenicity, the viruses remain in the body for life and infect several gram-positive and some gram-negative bacteria for a short period, causing painful sores and ulcers. Zovirax cream is a topical antiviral medication that is applied directly to the affected area. This cream works similarly to aciclovir cream and is effective in reducing the severity of symptoms, as well as reducing the number of sores and bacterial ulcers. Zovirax cream does not cure herpes, but it can prevent the infection from spreading and causing further pain and discomfort.
A cold sore usually appears on the inside of your lips, on the inside of your mouth, and on the bottom of your throat. The virus is most visible on the top of your lips and on the bottom of your throat, while the shedding on the skin, inside the mouth, and the outer corner of your mouth is strongest on the top of your lips and lowest on the bottom of your throat.
