Unfortunately there is no cure for genital herpes. In fact, herpes is a virus and there are no cures for any viruses yet at this time. If you have herpes you need to make sure that you let your sexual partners know so they have a choice whether to risk contact and always use protection even if you have no signs and symptoms of a breakout.
Because the majority of scientific research is going into cures for fatal diseases which people haven't blundered into through their own decisions.
Nope, it's a virus and the only known "cure" for a virus is the body's immune system, which coincidently cannot remove herpes from the body as it lays dormant waiting for the body to weaken it's defenses and recur. There's medicinal treatments for it such as acyclovir, but no way to cure it, just control the outbreaks. I bet in less than 20 years scientists will come up with something for both herpes and hiv that provides a positive cure.

Can homeopathy cure herpes?

Homeopathy has a specific theory of sexually transmitted diseases, and refers to genital herpes by the name 'figwarts', because they are shaped like figs. Most homeopaths will claim to have experience curing genital herpes, and many people have found STD conditions cured by homeopathy. One of the main homeopathic medicines for genital herpes is Thuja, available in any natural foods store. Claims notwithstanding, there is no hard scientific evidence that homeopathy has ever cured ANYTHING, let along genital herpes which has no known cure. (I'm not saying that homeopathy is, necessarily, worthless, just that there's no proof that it isn't.)
