Yes. There are over 25 viruses in the herpes family and among these, there are at least 8 types which infect humans. These include varicella zoster virus (VZV, HHV-3), associated with chickenpox and shingles and herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2. The other types of viruses involve Epstein Barr virus (EBV, HHV-4), which can cause infectious mononucleosis, cytomegalovirus (CMV, HHV-5), human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) and human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7), both associated with roseola in young children, and human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8), which has been found in tumors in people with Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). KS primarily affects people with weakened immune systems, such as organ transplant recipients and those with HIV/AIDS.
