Can Herpes Lay Dormant In Your Body And If So For How Long?

People diagnosed with a first episode of genital herpes can expect to have several (typically four or five) outbreaks (symptomatic recurrences) within a year.  Over time, these recurrences usually decrease in frequency.  It is possible that a person becomes aware of the “first episode” years after the infection is acquired.

Herpes can lie dormant for a long time. You need to always monitor your health, have balanced meals and always monitor where the herpes was at. Herpes can pop up anywhere, so if you notice the smallest of a rash you need to see your Dr to get control of it right away.    Please rate my answer

Yes, herpes can go dormant. It is hard to say for how long because there are factors that come into play. There now is a vaccine out that protects you from getting herpes again. This vaccine is expensive but well worth it. Talk to your DR. About it and he can give you all the information.

Herpes virus can not be dormant. The symptoms of blisters appear after 7 days to 12 days of contact. It is possible that you daughter got this with physical contact with partner. Because skin contact with partner having blister will burst the blister releasing virus that might be transferred in your daughter.

As long as your body is healthy

There is no cure for herpes virus you may have breakouts for the rest of your life talk to your dr there is meds that can keep it under control but its a life time virus.
