If my teacher frequently missed class due to Epstein Barr syndrome, does that mean she had a very severe case of herpes?

Unsure if this is an Epstein sex predator joke or not, but it would be analogous to saying someone in the ICU dying of COVID is dying of a severe cold. Technically close to true, maybe, in terms of language? But not true in terms of meaning. Different viruses in the coronavirus group of viruses cause ailments ranging from the common cold to your run of the mill slayers of Herman Cain.
Epstein-Barr is similar, it's a close relative of the popular herpes, in the herpes family, but spreads and acts very differently. You've almost certainly had it.
