Technically yes, mono is one of the herpes viruses, as is chicken pox. All have in common that they stay in your system, dormant, 'for life' - for example someone who has chicken pox as a child can get shingles many years later, which is actually a reactivation of the virus. Like herpes, mono can also be shed from time to time from the throat.
However, normally when people refer to herpes they mean genital herpes, the hsv-2 virus, or hsv-1 which causes oral cold sores but also causes many cases of genital herpes. These are the Herpes Simplex viruses, which mono is not.

Yes, there isn't any. Herpes is caused by a virus. Actually, there is little cure for viruses nowadays. The only thing that you can generally do in the case of a viral infection is strengthen the immune system and hope it fights it off. Not with Herpes, the immune system can't win against it. Thus you only get to treat the symptoms. Once you're infected, it stays with you for life. So don't get infected.
Personal experience. I have had genital herpes for over 5 years.

In a strict sense, NO; in a broad sense, perhaps. The Ebstein-Barr virus that causes mono is classed as a B-lymphotropic herpesvirus. They are caused by different viruses in the same family, and have different clinical presentations and manifestations.

No. They are completely different virus'.Mono will eventually go away. Once you contact herpes it's forever,even if you dont have herpes symptoms after contacting it you still can spread it.

NO - Mono and herpes are not connected.
Mono and Herpes both stem from auto immune diseases - but are no way within the same.
