No, no,
NO!!!!
"Any" virus
cannot "come out later"
Some can, actually, a small minority
Yes, varicella (chicken pox) goes dormant in the dorsal root ganglia of the 33 pairs of spinal nerves and 12 cranial nerves and can later manifest as Zoster (shingles). And yes, there is evidence for chronic forms of EBV
But most viruses are self limited and have no sequellae whatsoever----common colds, hepatitis A, any viral gastroenteritis, etc. I always wonder where people get their grossly inaccurate information.
