 The answer is no! Herpes viruses are their own family and include genital herpes, the virus that causes cankasores and chicken pox. Hepatitis A B and C are all different from each other and belong to different virus families. The important thing to remember is that Hepatitis B and Herpes are both sexually transmitted diseases and that safe sex can prevent their spread. Also there are vaccines for hepatitis A and B which are very effective and you should get vaccinated, if you are not already immune. Stay safe! DTD | ||||||||
