About HerpesVaccinations.com
HerpesVaccinations.com is a neutral, evidence-first tracker of herpes-simplex-virus (HSV) vaccine research. It exists to answer one question accurately and with citations: where does each herpes vaccine candidate actually stand?
Who runs this
This site is run and edited by Mark, an independent researcher and editor. Mark is not a physician, clinician, or medical researcher — and that is deliberately not the point. The value here is careful, sourced reporting of what the evidence actually says, not clinical opinion. Every status claim is tied to a named source (see our methodology), so you can check the primary evidence yourself rather than take anyone's word for it. The site is editorially independent: no developer, sponsor, or advertiser has any say over what appears here. Being transparent about who stands behind the information — and about its limits — is part of how we earn trust in a topic where trust has often been abused.
Funding and independence
HerpesVaccinations.com receives no funding from vaccine developers or their competitors, carries no advertising, and uses no affiliate or sponsored links. It sells nothing and promotes no candidate or treatment. It is a self-funded, independent reference project. If that ever changes, this section will say so, with a dated note.
Editorial policy
- Every status claim is sourced and dated. If we can't point to a credible source, it doesn't go on the page. See our methodology for the sourcing hierarchy.
- We report status, not hope. We don't promise timelines, rank candidates by promise, or use words like "cure" or "breakthrough."
- We sell nothing and promote no candidate. See funding and independence above for the details.
- We correct errors openly. When a fact changes or is shown wrong, we fix it and move the page's "last updated" date.
- This is information, not medical advice. For any decision about your own health, consult a qualified clinician.
