Is it true that once a person is treated with herpes virus it stays in the body even if they are not showing any symptoms?

The Herpes virus can remain in your body for years without showing symptoms. It can also have intermittent flareups. It can cause constant problems. The chicken pox virus is another one like that. The same virus that causes chicken pox in children causes shingles in old people. When old folks get shingles, it is too late to return to childhood and get a chickenpox vaccination.
