Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a contagious infection that can spread through saliva, semen, and vaginal secretions and cause painful blisters or ulcers. It is generally diagnosed through physical examinations, fluid sampling, and blood tests. At present, antiviral medications, such as famciclovir, acyclovir, and valacyclovir, are the most effective treatment options available for patients. These medications can be administered through oral or intravenous (IV) routes to help relieve symptoms, reduce the frequency and severity of outbreaks, and prevent the transmission of the virus.

Herpes Simplex Virus Treatment Market Trends:

HSV increases the risk of acquiring and transmitting human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and can also lead to serious complications like encephalitis and keratitis in people with long-term or chronic illnesses. This, in confluence with the growing percentage of people with chronic diseases, represents one of the significant factors driving the need for HSV treatment across the globe. Moreover, neonatal herpes is a serious condition that can occur when an infant is exposed to HSV in the genital tract during delivery. As neonatal herpes can cause lasting neurologic disability or death in infants, the rising birth rates are influencing the market positively. Apart from this, as reactivation of HSV infection generally occurs during the initial months of bone marrow and solid-organ transplants, the increasing number of people undergoing organ transplantation is contributing to the market growth. In line with this, researchers are focusing on developing new antiviral medications to expand the treatment options for orolabial and genital herpes. In addition, they are introducing antiviral cream or ointment that can relieve burning, itching, or tingling sensations of HSV, improve the quality of life of patients, and prevent infected people from spreading the virus.
