No, it is not possible for HBr to reform in solution.

Explanation:

HBr is an example of a strong acid, meaning that all HBr molecules in solution will dissociate into #H^+# and #Br^-# ions. Since it wants to dissociate so strongly, it does not want to reform HBr just as strongly. As a result any HBr put into a solution of water will irreversibly convert into #H^+# and #Br^-#.
