Question:
Herpes Treatment Analysis (Overview)

The percentages expressed above are drawn from the information and literature supplied by the manufacturers or suppliers of that particular treatment. This would include testimonials, trials as well as anecdotal information.

A treatment is considered to be successful if no new outbreaks occur within 3 years.

Although this virus appears hard to kill it can be done by several of the treatments mentioned above if the treatment is begun early enough. Once established the virus hides inside a host cell and is difficult for our immune system to recognize so early commencement of treatment is a determining factor in the success rate.

Although the virus may be destroyed in the early stages of infection, a person can become "re-infected", from a new or old sexual partner. Kinda vague there and a strand of hope.

But how soon? Within hours of the first outbreak or days or minutes??

Answer:
I found that information myself once upon a time.

Their claim is that if your outbreaks stop for 3 or more years you are cured but the fine print states that outbreaks can return in the future and this means that what they are advertising is not truly a cure. A cure would kill the virus in your body forever and this simply isn't possible yet.

From my understanding, herpes tests are based on HSV antibodies, once you get the antibodies, they're with you for life.

Answer:
Your body creates a "recipe" for antibodies but, as I understand it, they are not always present unless there is viral activity.

If the virus was completely destroyed and no longer in the body there would be no reason to have antibodies present.

In other words our bodies have many tasks to complete to keep us healthy and alive. There is no reason for it to expend energy creating antibodies for something that is no longer a risk. Our immune system prioritizes risks and deals with the immediate problems.
