How is HSV-1 treated, and are there any vaccinations to prevent infection?

The MMR vaccine is completely safe, and does not cause autism. Vaccination is very important because it prevents diseases that can cause permanent complications and death. In the case of the MMR vaccine, it prevents measles, mumps, and rubella. Measles complications include ear infection, diarrhea, pneumonia, brain damage, and death. Mumps complications include swelling of the testicles or ovaries, deafness, inflammation of the brain and/or tissue covering the brain and spinal cord (encephalitis/meningitis) and, rarely, death.

Avoid direct contact between the parties especially during the active disease phase (abstinence strategy) 2. Allow direct contact but insert an effective barrier, if available, to transmission during direct contact (barrier method strategy)3. Suppress the viral load in the infected party with medication to reduce the risk of transmission (pre-exposure suppressive strategy). 4.
