When you think of famous viruses, say, colds, HIV, Herpes, Ebola(?), none of them have an actual cure. I know that some can be controlled with various drugs, and that viruses are tougher than other infections with current medical know-how, but can ANY viruses be cured at this time?
If so, which ones please. Also, why are they harder to cure (if indeed they are and I haven’t got a totally wrong idea!)
Influenza is cured in advance by building up the immune system via a vaccine. The vaccine gets your bodies defenses ready for the virus, effectively curing it in advance.
