Any virus of the herpesvirus group, which comprises a family of 70 species, 5 of which are pathogenic to humans; the term also refers to any infection caused by these viruses. Since these pathogens are ubiquitous in nature, most individuals of all populations are exposed to and thus immunized to these viruses. The five pathogenic groups include herpes simplex I and II, varicella-zoster, cytomegalovirus, and the Epstein-Barr virus.
In nonimmunized hosts, the vast majority of all herpes infections present symptoms of nonspecific viral illnesses which resolve spontaneously. However, the infections that cause clinical disease in fact may cause serious morbidity and mortality in afflicted individuals. Reactivation of herpes infection, characteristic of the immunocompromised host, is an important cause of mortality in the treatment of patients with advanced cancer, and is a potential complication of an otherwise possibly curable systemic disease.
Herpesviruses have a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) core and are 150 to 200 nanometers in size with icosahedral symmetry, and are coated by a protein barrier, the capsid, derived from the infected host cells. The surface of the virions in general contains protein-carbohydrate structures which allow cellular attachment and thus cellular penetration. All viruses require living cells for their replication; the virus may replicate and destroy the cell, or replicate and allow cell survival, or incorporate its viral gene structure into the host gene structure. This incorporation phenomenon is designated as latency. For example, herpes simplex virus exhibits the phenomenon of latency within nerve cells in the area of previous infection. The Epstein-Barr virus characteristically causes latent infection in lymphocytes (white blood cells in the circulating blood), and the cytomegalic virus also causes latent infection within lymphocytes and possibly within nerve cells. Once the viral genome is incorporated into the host cell, antiviral drugs are of no use, since therapeutic agents cannot selectively destroy or inhibit the viral genome. Factors which are possibly involved in the reactivation of latent virus generally revolve around some depression of the host immune response system. Viral genome incorporation into host cells is of great interest as several herpesvirus types are implicated in the development of cancer.
The foundation of therapeutic intervention for all herpesviruses involves a series of chemicals with structures similar to the base pairs which compose the viral DNA structure. The base analogs compete with or inhibit viral enzymes necessary for the assembly of DNA

Herpes is a virus and there are lots of different types of it.
A huge amount of the population can carry the virus but only about 10% get symptoms such as cold sores.
It cannot be cured but there are things you can do to reduce the times that you get cold sores.
There is a very effective cream from the chemist called Zovoirax. You put it on when you feel the tingle that comes before the coldsore comes through and it can stop it.
Coldsores often come through when you are run down, so you can try to maintain a healthy lifestyle eat lots of fruit and veg to keep your immune system healthy.
People often get cold sore virus by being kissed by someone who carries the virus but does not have symptoms (the majority of the population) This can often happen when you are a baby (you know how much people like to kiss babies!)
Another point to be aware of - do not perform oral sex when you have a cold sore until it has completely cleared as you could give your parter genital herpes.
There is talk of development of a cure or an immunization to herpes but this does not exist at present.
HOwever, they're not too bad, more a mild cosmetic pain than anything else.

The sores will go away in time, but you have the virus for life. You may have had it for many years before ever having an outbreak. You could have another in few days or weeks otr not again for years. Herpes simplex I, the virus that causes this, hides out in your nervous system after the lesions ffade.
There are some excellent antiviral products that can greatly speed the healing of the sore, so ask you physician about these. Some people swear by taking high doses of an amino acid called L-Lysine to both treat and prevent this kind of herpes. It's relatively cheap and harmless if you don't want to see a doctor or can't afford one. There is also one over the counter product that is effective, Abreva, that you might want to try.
For a list of things available, check:

One caution: avoid contact with anyone else's mucous membranes while you have lesions. Althought the genital herpes virus is Type II, you can get Type I on your genitalia.

I got diagnosed with herpes simplex virus (type 2) about six yrs ago, when I was still in college and had a mindless one-night stand. I understand loads of girls will declare this, but I swear I had certainly not done that sort of thing before. I just made a massive mistake that one time and all of a sudden it seemed like I was going to have to live with the implications for the rest of my life. The worst part was feeling I could never date men again. After all, who wants to go out with a girl who has sores round her private parts? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/IeqlN everything changed. Not only was I able to remove all remnants of the herpes virus from my system in less than 3 weeks, but I was also able to start dating again. I even met the guy of my dreams and I'm so blessed to write that just last week, in front of everyone in a packed restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me! This method gave me back the chance to be happy and experience real love. Now I want to enable you too by sharing this with the World.

I was tested positive for herpes type 2 approximately 7 years ago, when I was in college and had a stupid one-night stand. I think many of women will say this but believe me I never did that sort of thing. I just made mistake that one time and, suddenly, it looked like I was going to have to live with the consequences for the rest of my life. The awful part was feeling I could never date guys again. After all, who wants to go out with a person who has sores around her you-know-what? But after somebody share this video https://tr.im/mUtqL everything has changed. Not only was I able to eliminate all traces of the herpes virus from my body in less than three weeks, but I was also able to start dating again. I even met the man of my dreams and I'm so blessed to write that just last week, in fornt of many people in a crowded restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me! This program offered me the chance to be happy again, and to experience true love.

I am absolutely terrified and I feel so alone. I just found out last week that I tested positive for hsv1 and 2. I have been with the same man for the past 10 years and within the last year found out that he has cheated on me with numerous women. I am so scared that I can give it to my children by kissing them and them eating with me...I feel like my whole life has changed. And even though the nurses, my doctor, and websites say that a lot of people have it I still feel like I am by myself. My self esteem has dropped and I feel like I have been used up. But now, My life is very happy.

Takes 7-12 days to heal.
Try L-Lysine 500 milligrams 2 times a day to control outbreaks. ...it's all natural and can be purchased over the counter ( worked for my friend ).
It's a virus and cannot be cured, no.
