All convictions stay on your record. They are public record unless expunged (i.e. sealed). Juvenile records are sealed for instance and some states allow expungement after a certain amount of time and petition to the court. But there is always a record, it is just a matter of whether it can be seen or not.
There is a database called the NCIC managed and maintained by the FBI where arrests, indictments, convictions, etc. are stored for other law enforcement officials to see. They exist irregardless of expungement. Luckily only law enforcement has access to it.
A copy of a conviction will be available at the county level where the conviction took place forever. Sometimes a state (NY for example) will also have a copy. Someone who wants to see it writes to the county, pays a fee and can see the details of the case. Some states post all of the details online but they are few and far between.
Type your state and background check into Google and you'll find out how easy it is for someone to find a conviction.

All of them stay on your record forever (Misdemeanors and Felonies) which is pretty crappy in my opinion... With a felony conviction you lose some of your civil rights forever (or until you receive a pardon from the governor) although the conviction will still show up anyway.
Misdemeanors in some cases can be "expunged" which means that it actually does go off of your record, but you need to look up what criteria has to be met in your state to get something expunged.

All criminal convictions stay on your record forever with the exceptions of those adjudicated with a differed imposition of sentence. These cases are such that if you stay out of trouble for a set period of time, then the issue is removed.

Given the presumption of innocence until guilt is proven, a charge that doesn't conclude in a conviction should be expunged. Certainly in the worst case scenario ,the court can be petitioned in order for the charge(s) to be removed.

Almost all unless your misdemeanor can be expunged or you were convicted as a juvenile.
