Other Answers:
It used to be thought that Herpes Simplex Type 1 caused sores and blisters on the mouth or face whereas Herpes Simplex Type 2 caused these same symptoms in the genital and/or rectal area. It's now known that Herpes Simplex Type 1 can spread to the genital and rectal area and Herpes Simplex Type 2 to the face and mouth.

Herpes is incurable and once a person is infected with the virus they will have it for life and may or may not periodically experience symptoms associated with it.
