Now that I actually read what you wrote (instead of relying on my inate ability to pre-cogniate what people are saying without actually having to spend time listening (or reading) what they actually are saying/wrote, I find a curious aspect to your statement.

YOU said:

"Acyclovir inhibits the replication of viral DNA needed to reproduce itself."

I thought viruses are RNA animals (having no DNA themselves), but hijack a cells DNA (and thereby a cell's machinery so as to make copies of the virus' RNA, and its protein coat and when the cell fills up with a sufficient number of viruses: it explodes). Maybe I have all that wrong (since I'm a Creationist biology type guy and therefor have no clue what I'm talking about). Perhaps that's how anti-virals work: they inhibit the production of the protein coating (which masks the invader from the immune system), or garbles it in such a way that it sticks out like a sore thumb and the big bad T-Cells get down to it. Again, I'm a Creationist (anti-evo) type guy, so I bet all that is wrong.

Whatever You should realize I'm not digging on you personally (I was being sarcastic, and obtuse, and beligerant). So don't worry about it.
