The question is a little confusing.
Genital herpes, HSV II, does stay in the body and is not curable, but neither do you always have sores. There are good periods of time between outbreaks.
Cold sores are caused by the HSV I virus. Technically, if a person has EVER had a cold sore, they now carry the HSVI virus in their bodies. Again, the herpes simplex virus is not curable. But MOST people at some point in their lives, usually as a kid, have had a cold sore. They do not have cold sores all the time.
Chicken pox is another strain of herpes.
