Are there some genetic reasons i get genital herpes off and on?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No specific ones: Herpes is like a squatter. It moves in and does not go away, although it may remain very quiet. For a variety of reasons, many poorly understood, some individuals sustain repeated outbreaks. These can be managed medically with antivirals.
