no, the epstein barr virus causes mononucleosis- a very common viral infection especially in young adults... it is often called the kissing disease because it is passed through saliva. Many people with a sore throat and unexplained tiredness are checked for this.

No, it is actually a form of herpes. "The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), also called Human herpesvirus 4 (HHV-4), is a virus of the herpes family (which includes Herpes simplex virus and Cytomegalovirus), and is one of the most common viruses in humans. Most people become infected with EBV, which is often asymptomatic but commonly causes infectious mononucleosis."

Epstein-Barr syndrome is not and never has been some variation of HIV, ARC or AIDS.

Some say it can cause chronic fatigue syndrome as well....
But no, it's not even remotely close to HIV or AIDS.
