After more than 20 years of intense and detailed theoretical calculations and experimental simulations, the prospect to search for a Higgs like boson and to discover it at the 14 TeV LHC and for a given luminosity are well known. The LHC and its experiments have now started to operate at 7 TeV and some encouraging first experimental results, despite the still low luminosity, have already been presented. After a short overview about these first LHC results, the perspectives for direct Higgs searches using a realistic(?) LHC road map up to early 2016 will be presented. Assuming a few representative Higgs masses, implications for its discovery and the consequences for todays experimental constraints and the electroweak precision data will be discussed.
