A member asked:
Can a genital herpe outbreak heal and then come back 3 weeks later ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Herpes : Yes. The virus can come out during stress that lowers your immune system. So, you must be under stress, or not eating well. The virus does not go away completely. The immune system keeps in check, when you are under stress the immune system does not work well, so the virus reproduces more, then you have an outbreak. When you are healthier the immune system keeps the virus suppressed, so no rash.
