HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Unfortunately the herpes infection cannot be cured at this time. Once a person has been infected with herpes 1 and/or 2, then recurrent infections can occur because these viruses live in the system.

If your immune system is suppressed (not working well) for some reasons then the infections would occur more commonly eg if you have diabetes, on steroids or other meds that affect the immune system, HIV
You can check to see if there are any reasons that may be affecting your immunity and causing the frequent infections.

Using the antiviral medication eg acyclovir would help to reduce the attacks.

I hope this helps
