Describe da state of herpess N virus in a person who had cold sores several years ago...?

(continued) but who does not have them now. plz help meh!

Anyone who has ever had a cold sore still has the herpes simplex virus in their body. It never goes away, and can lie dormant for years and come out in times of stress.

The absolute best treatment for cold sores is a prescription medication in pill form called Valtrex. It was intended for genital herpes, but cold sores are caused by the same family of viruses, and Valtrex stops colds sores in their tracks. None of the other treatments come close to the effectiveness of Valtrex, not the ointment Zovirax, and not Abreva or anything else. Ask your doctor about it to see if you would be a good candidate for the meds. My doctor prescribed it for me for cold sores about five years ago and after taking it only a couple of times I hardly ever get a cold sore any more, and I was having several attacks a year. On the rare occasions that I do get one, it is gone almost immediately when I take the medication - in about a day. Ask your doctor about it. In the meantime, here are a couple of informative links.
