As I'm sure you know, herpes is a permanent, life-long infection that is transferred in many different ways, with the most common ways being through unprotected sex and any type of physical contact, whether it be skin-to-skin contact, mouth-to-mouth contact, etc. Though there's no cure for herpes, it comes and goes, more or less when it pleases and when you're about to have an outbreak, depending on the location of your herpes, there are symptoms, or warning signs. If you have genital herpes, (which is considered an STD/STI) you will develop (genital) warts around your infected area which is usually around your genitals. Also, you'll feel a painful itching/burning sensation. Valtrex doesn't cure this, but it does help a great deal.

If you have oral herpes, you will develop cold sores on and around your mouth. Poor hygiene doesn't help much either. Like I said earlier, a cure for herpes has yet to de discovered, but there are vaccines and treatments to help reduce viral reproduction.
