For example there are viral infections (actual viruses) that infect us humans and usually if left alone either go away with enough time, or we can take anti virals to help our immune system along.
Hell even in warts which are caused by the HPV virus, if left untreated can go away in as little as 2-5 years without any sort of treatment, so what makes herpes or any virus that never does away, different from the other viruses that can go away?

Inside most cells we have DNA; which is like an instruction manual to make all of the different proteins that our body needs.Some viruses have DNA as well (or can convert their genetic material into DNA), in other words their “instruction manual is written in the same way as ours. These viruses can “fuse” their instruction manual with ours, that means that when our cells try to make proteins, it might read the pages or sentences of the viral DNA and we end up making their proteins until finally we make a whole virus (this happens in hundreds of thousands of cells simultaneously sometimes), when that happens these viruses could flare up.
