Of course none of us really know but things like this have long been hypothesized. It's like the gingivitis theory that CRTX took to trial and failed. Some think, and its intuitive, that a long time virus such as chickenpox that lies dormant for your whole life could have an impact on your immunity system or even the blood brain barrier. It's certainly not impossible.

To take it a step further google EBV and MS. Over 90% of the world's population has a dormant EBV in our bodies. For the less than 10% that don't have it, they almost never get MS. There is certainly a connection of some sort. Some doctors test patients' immunity responses to the way the body reacts to dormant EBV. Could an EBV vaccine prevent MS? Perhaps. For that matter bryostatin can help the body to express dormant EBV and could potentially play a role in the same "kick and kill" strategy being considered for HIV.

Also google HIV and AD and you'll see a role there, possibly similar to the herpes role you linked. Short answer is yes AD could be caused by something like viruses or toxins that weaken the immune system, and play a role in a healthy gut biome and/or blood brain barrier.
