For How Long Is Mononucleosis Contagious?

My boyfriend just recently tested positive for mononucleosis, I just wanted to know more about it. We re clearly going to have to wait to see if I ll contract it in the next few weeks. Like can oral sex pass it along to someone who doesn t have it? How long until we can kiss again? Anything really.

Hello,

Thnx to contact us. I understand your concern.

If I am your doctor I advice you that Infectious Mononucleosis is caused by the Epstein Bar virus. It spread through variety of routes like coughing, sneezing, or sharing a glass or food utensils. It is also known as Kissing disease as kissing can spread it. There is no such treatment for it, only supportive treatment is necessary to cure you,
I will be happy to answer more of your concerns, kindly know me,
Wish you a very good health at health care magic.
