Huge News for Senior Citizens Everywhere, You Can Now Fight Herpes and Alzheimers All At Once

Probably no one benefiting more from this news than Hef


Fox News - Antiviral drugs used to combat herpes virus infections could slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease, a new study suggests. The herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1), which causes most cold sores, has previously been tied to the development of Alzheimer's disease. In the study, cells infected with HSV1 showed a buildup of the proteins known to damage the brains of people with Alzheimer's. Treating the cells with the antiviral drug acyclovir significantly reduced the accumulation of these proteins.

 I have to imagine that for an old, senile, STD ridden person, this is just about the happiest news you can get, maybe the happiest news in decades.

Nursing homes are just going to turn into straight up brothels for the elderly, just octonagarians as far as the eyes can see swapping fluids carelessly, getting their fuck on, and then sharing stories with their bros and girlfriends because for the first time in years they'll be able to remember their hookup and tell the story to their friends. 

A true golden age for the golden gals.
