A member asked:
A friend of mine was diagnosed with the herpes 9yrs ago and only had one breakout does that mean that she doesn't have it anymore or she still have it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Herpes lives in the nerves of the area affected. Because this person has been fortunate to only have one outbreak. Does not mean no longer infected.
