Yes and no: Oral herpes is extremely common; most adults test positive for it. Once you get it, like all viruses in the herpes family, it stays in your body forever. However, most people get an initial outbreak & never get it again, or only get outbreaks when under stress. For the few with frequent outbreaks drugs can help. Using topical melissa oil can be very helpful. See http://tinyurl.com/k4rcly5
