Many sexually transmitted diseases go away when they are treated early and in a timely manner. Some, such as genital herpes, can recur. This means that a person, after contracting the virus the first time, gets better. However, after a variable period of time (from several months to many years), under conditions of stress, tiredness or fatigue, the viral infection may return. People suffering from recurrent herpes learn right away to keep the treatment for this disease at home so that they can begin treatment again at the first sign of symptoms.
