Has anyone considered this???

So I don’t have a medical degree but I have worked in the medical field before. But just as an idea, or if anyone could explain why this can’t be done. Why has no one considered blood transfusion/dialysis to eliminate herpes in people who are positive? I know dialysis works to remove certain things and replace with “clean” blood but couldn’t that work to eliminate the herpes virus? I guess I’m just wishfully thinking hoping to find a cure somewhere so I don’t have to take pills every day the rest of my life and worry about passing this on to my children during pregnancy.

Herpes isn't a blood-borne thing. The virus lives either at the top or base of the spine, depending on the zone of original infection and becomes awakened and travels down the nerve cells to the surface of the skin. Blood tests find antibodies in the blood, which isn't the virus itself. Does that help?

Actually yes it does. I thought it was in the bloodstream. 🤔 I’m having one of those days where I feel desperate to get rid of this curse so thinking outside of the box (or more or less crazy) starts to take over my thought processing.
