yes sir primary complex relapse can occur, in few conditions after the course duration finished also infection can persist, in that cases we will continue the treatment for some more time, mean while they can do culture also to know the sensitivity of the microorganisms, any resistance is observed they will change the medicines or dosages. skin test is negative doesn't indicate that it is cured, we will use other investigations also to confirm the result
