What happens when a person who is infected with a herpes virus experiences a cold sore or genital flare-up? They are reinfected by exposure to a different, but closely related herpes virus strain. Copies of herpes virus particles that have escaped the immune system periodically experience conditions that allow them to replicate and infect cells. Copies of the herpes virus genome permanently maintained in host nuclei are periodically "activated." They are reinfected by exposure to the same herpes virus strain. COCO
