Research indicates that 30% of new HIV cases may be linked to herpes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recent work has suggested herpes may also be a major player in Alzheimer\u2019s disease. It is a plausible theory as the herpes virus resides in the brain and evidence indicates a causative relationship to Alzheimer&#8217;s Disease, a leading cause of death and disability in America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than 2000 babies every year are born with herpes. More than half may die.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, I request that the federal agenda for herpes include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A White House task force charged with addressing the public health crisis of herpes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A widespread campaign to alert health care providers as to the serious nature of herpes and its relationship with HIV, Alzheimer\u2019s, Dementia and newborn disease<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A renewed, robust effort at surveillance for genital and neonatal herpes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dedicated investment in clinical research for curative approaches via NIAID\/DMID<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dedicated investment in the development of a blood test to diagnose infection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One thing the COVID-19 pandemic has done is brought the injustice and inequality of health care and resources for infectious diseases to light in a way not previously understood. We are at a crossroads now with great levels of advocacy and the ability to make real change with new technologies to tackle these silent epidemics. I look forward to your prompt response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Very Respectfully,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"line-height:0.9\">Jeffrey D.
