Answers:
For some of the previous respondants!.!.!.Pertussis and Chlamydia are not viruses, they are bacterial!.
Their are vaccines and anti-viral drugs available for many viruses, however these are mainly preventive, prophylactic or to relieve symptoms!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Viruses cannot be cured using antibiotics or any other conventional methods, because unlike bacteria or parasites, they are non-living!. You can't kill a non-living thing!. Some of the ways to TREAT a virus is to get bed rest, a lot of fluids and simply wait for the virus to finish its own cycle!. You can also treat the symptoms of a viral disease by consuming pills (such as Paracetamol) to relief the pain, coughing, fatigue etc!. The downside of treating the symptoms is that when you use pills to treat them, the virus's cycle will get longer i!.e!. if you get the flu and you treat your fatigue with pills it will take you a week or two to feel better, but if you don't use pills to relief it, it will take less than a week!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Loooads of viruses go away of their own accord!. Nearly all the coughs and colds we get each year are caused by various viruses such as astro virus!. As does hepatitis A, usually!. Glandular fever usually resolves and we retain natural immunity to it from then on!.

If you're talking about specific medical treatments which cure viruses, Ribavarin can be used for severe RSV infections (respiratory syncitial virus)!.

Though yes, all the viral STDs I can think of have no cure and never go away of their own accord though we may remain asymptomatic!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

viruses are not alive, so you cant kill them with medicine, though you can kill the symptoms, but thats not a good thing!. so usually you just let them do their thing and your immune system destroys them (ex!. when you have influenza, your rest and drink fluids; gives body energy to destroy virus)


[EDIT]: hatedrabbit419, viruses are not alive, therefore they cannot die!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Strep throat is curable!.


Also other virus' can be overcome, rather then cured like the cold, or aids!.

Further we have a vaccine for a virus, HPV, Human papilloma virus!. Its the virus that causes some forms of warts thus causing cervical cancer!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Because viruses use the machinery of a host cell to reproduce and reside within them, they are difficult to eliminate without killing the host cell!. The most effective medical approaches to viral diseases so far are vaccinations to provide resistance to infection, and antiviral drugsWww@Answer-Health@Com
