No you don’t it is antibiotic resistant and has to be treated for life to try to keep it under control.I think they can keep it from being infectious but you always harbor the virus and it can become like that over and over.
MRSA seems to be like that too, coming back over and over. I know a kid who got MRSA during wrestling season in high school and kept getting it back. I won’t say that he got it from wrestling because the kid also is an addict. The last time, he was in the hospital for months. I think that his arm is pretty much useless, now.
