If you get diagnosed with a herpe infection, does it become permanent?
Do you have to live with it for the rest of your life?

Unfortunately..yes, it is now a part of you for life.

ok... thanks dolysods.. i havent gotten all the facts on this. I just found out yesterday... So if i finally am able to tell my friends then i wouldn't have to say i have a herpes infection?.. all i really have to say is i have herpes?
