There is no known treatment to totally control and eliminate genital herpes once you are a carrier of the virus already. Once you are a carrier of the disease, you will be carrying the virus for a lifetime. The infected person who carries the virus in the body has the right to control outbreaks of symptoms with the disease. Recent study shows that even though you are a carrier of genital herpes, you can still live a normal life like you want it to be and can still enjoy relationships.
