Unmet Medical Need:

Herpes simplex virus type 2 is a sexually transmitted virus that causes watery lesions in the skin and mucus membranes of the genitals. It establishes latency in neurons, from where it can sporadically reactivate to cause shedding/transmission with or without new sores. The CDC estimates that 776,000 people in the United States are newly infected each year. Currently, control is only possible with life-long drug treatment.
