HSV-1 in vaginal area - can it go away”?

Question

Asked for Female, 20 Years

Hi! 8 months ago, I was diagnosed with HSV-1 after my then boyfriend had cheated on me. I am wondering if it is possible that the body “cures itself” of herpes? I have had one initial outbreak, and one very mild recurring outbreak. The last outbreak was approximately 4 months ago and I have had no symptoms or outbreaks since. I was also given antiviral medication to take during outbreaks. I’m going to get myself tested again soon, but I’m wondering if it can disappear?
