Very common: You have it for life. You can transmit it even if you have no symptoms. 60% of people under age 60 have it. L Lysine supplement taken daily may reduce the outbreaks. If it keeps flaring up and it bothers you, you can take an anti viral medication but there is a risk of drug resistance over long periods of time. Some people take acyclovir only when they are starting to having symptoms
