Interesting to say the least. I have read where the virus can go away in due time. However, mine lay dormant for 7 years before my first out break! Than, I had another outbreak earlier this year, but I knew what it was & attacked it right away with garlic. Hurts like &%^$ but I got rid of it in a few days. I also alternated bandages,& Vit E. & let it breath - which worked for me. Mind you it was teeny tiny. I hope to fast it out of my system, but I never did the last time - which also amazes me.
It didn't even show on tests! Once my immunity plunged, I guess that is what brought it about.
