Hi,
Unfortunately, herpes cannot be cured. Once a person has been infected with this virus, it remains in the system through the number of times it shows itself can vary from one person to the next.
The antiviral medications can help to suppress it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
