☛ Genital Herpes Treatment Market: Drivers
The Genital Herpes Treatment Market is expanding due to the high global prevalence of HSV-2 infections, affecting hundreds of millions, with no current cure available. Antiviral therapies like acyclovir, valacyclovir, and famciclovir remain mainstays for managing outbreaks and suppressing transmission. Rising R&D investments in pipeline candidates, including vaccines (mRNA-1608, BNT163, GSK3943104) and novel antivirals (pritelivir), promise improved options. Increasing government initiatives for STI awareness, testing, and education reduce stigma and boost diagnosis rates. Growing demand for suppressive therapy to prevent recurrence and transmission, especially in high risk groups, supports market growth. Advancements in diagnostics and telemedicine further facilitate access. Overall, the market is driven by the need for better long-term management and potential curative approaches.
