Are herpes curable or not curable?

Herpes Simplex Virus type 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2), commonly known as herpes, are incurable viral infections. Once a person is infected with herpes, the virus remains dormant in the body's nerve cells. While there is no cure for herpes, antiviral medications can be used to manage symptoms and reduce the frequency of outbreaks. These medications do not eliminate the virus from the body but can help control its activity.
