My understanding is that herpres is never cured. What happens in most cases is that the body either throws off the virus on it's own, or the virus goes into permanent remission. I don't think anyone suffers from herpes for years and years.

Furthermore - and I don't want to minimize the risk of catching herpes - those horror pics you see on the internet usually involve people with immune system deficiencies; people with healthy immune systems don't get their mouths eaten away by herpes.

What I do not understand is to what extent a prior infection with herpes can influence the body's response to renewed exposure, or to exposure to genital herpes. However, genital herpes, when it occurs on the mouth, isn't any more severe than the oral variety.
