Once infected, it is always there.
It is possible because there are many viruses that do this. One example is the shingles virus. Another is the oral version of herpes. However, not all viruses stay in the body. It depends on the type.

Herpes can stay in your body for life, but the frequency and severity of outbreaks can vary. Factors like stress, weakened immune system, and certain medications can affect the duration and frequency of herpes outbreaks.
Once your body clears a virus infection, it is typically eliminated from your body. Some viruses, such as herpes simplex virus and human papillomavirus, can remain dormant in your system and reactivate at a later time. However, most viruses do not stay in your body indefinitely after you recover from the infection.
Yes.I have asked 2 doctors about this. The virus that causes cold sores around the mouth is herpes simplex 1. They are easy enough to spread, and I have found no distinction between simplex 1 and 2 (ect.) other than the site.
Hep B can live for up to a week outside the body.
Herpes Simplex Virus travels through tiny breaks in the skin or mucous membranes in the mouth or genital areas. Even microscopic abrasions on mucous membranes are sufficient to allow viral entry.
HIV will not survive long outside the body; in most cases if the blood is completely dry, the virus is dead.

Once you have HPV it does't leave the body and is the leading cause of cancer of the uterus.
HIV cannot live outside body fluids/tissues more than a few hours
Latent diseases are infections that remain inactive or dormant in the body for long periods before becoming active. Examples include tuberculosis, which can stay asymptomatic in the lungs, and herpes simplex virus, which can lie dormant in nerve cells. Other examples are HIV, which can remain undetected for years, and varicella-zoster virus, responsible for chickenpox and later shingles. These diseases can reactivate under certain conditions, such as stress or immunocompromised states.
