Once you have been infected with EBV, your body may periodically shed (or give off) the virus throughout your lifetime, possibly spreading the virus to others. This can occur despite the fact that you do not have symptoms after your initial mono infection; the virus may still be found in your saliva up to 18 months after you have recovered from your symptoms.

"Mono" (mononucleosis) is an infection casued by the Epstein-Barr (EBV) virus. Kissing is just one way of catching the illness. You can also catch it by sharing a straw , eating utensils or drining from the same glass of someone who has mono. It's not a sexually transmitted disease and is only contagious when the person has a fever. I would not consider you lucky, just normal.

its possible that mono is just the first thing that people notice...since mono and lupus are both immune system disorders then it is quite possible that ppl who get mono already have undiagnosed lupus.

Infectious mononucleosis (also known in North America as mono, the kissing disease or Pfeiffer's disease, and more commonly known as glandular fever in other English-speaking countries) is a disease seen most commonly in adolescents and young adults, characterized by fever, sore throat and fatigue. It is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) or the cytomegalovirus (CMV). It is typically transmitted from asymptomatic individuals through saliva or blood, or by sharing a drinking glass, eating utensils, or needles. The disease is far less contagious than is commonly thought. Since the causative virus is also found in the mucous of the infected person, it can also spread through coughing or sneezing.

It Would Depend, In Large Part, On Whether you had Mono (a Herpesvirus, EBV) Before (and May Have Seen it as Something Else or Never Realized you Were Sick).  I Think she was Contagious Well Before she had Signs, and Not Terribly Long After she had Signs.

Infectious mononucleosis (often called simply "mono") is a common viral infection that causes fever, sore throat, and enlarged lymph nodes. The most common complaint is a sore throat. Mono is commonly caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, but other viruses, such as cytomegalovirus (CMV), can also cause mono. Mono is most frequently diagnosed in teenagers and young adults.\n\nThe illness generally goes away without medical help. However, it may last from weeks to months. Treatment is mainly to ease symptoms, usually at home, with plenty of rest and fluids.\n\nBy adulthood, 90-95% of men and women have been infected. Mono usually occurs in people aged 15-25 years. Mono is highly contagious. Not surprisingly, 1-3% of college students contract mono each year. Infection spreads through exposure to body fluids containing the virus. It is most often transmitted via saliva (hence the name "kissing disease"). However, mono can also be spread through blood and genital secretions.\n\nSerious complications rarely occur.

well that could mean that the ebv virus is dormant in your system,meaning you already had it. The mono count will always be high. As far as the antibodies more tests can be done to determine if there is a problemwith the antibodies.

It's uncharacteristic, but yes.\n\nWhen being diagnosed with disease, you are typically examined for a number of conditions that are common with the disease ('symptoms').  They are no indicator in and of themselves that you have the disease (only a medical test will confirm), but their presence increases the probability of a positive test.\n\nIf you suspect that you have contracted mononucleosis, you are best served by having a doctor run a test on you.  Attempting diagnosis by yourself does not sound wise nor prudent.  If you are experiencing some other disease, you may only be delaying proper treatment.

WOW, Epstein Barr can prove to be very debilitating due to the over exhaustion feeling. My advice to you, don't use conventional drugs. Go to an herbalist and talk with them. There are many herbs that can help you with this disease. Mono for adults is always worse than for teenagers. It seems that adults can sometimes keep it longer than a teenager as well. Having both of these at the same time is going to prove to be challenging, but I guarantee you if you seek alternative medicines you will be back on your feet in no time!

Mono suppresses the immune system,leaving the person both contagious and susceptible to other illnesses. My brother had mono tonsillitis, strep all at the same time he lost a ton of weight even under the doctors care and missed 3 months of school, another friend was about the same and even had clumps of hair falling out. Some people barely notice mono, it just leaves them tired and maybe a little more prone to cold and other viruses. My son just had mono, he was in and out of school before we knew what he had, series of flu, bad colds sore throat ear infection ect followed.He missed 27 school days and all but his first wrestling meet and lost 7 of his 104 pounds.Mono can cause the spleen to become enlarged also. We are told he needs to be cautious around others for 18 months as he could possibly still spread the virus. But will it kill you friend? probably not because he is under medical care, eating and drinking and able to rest. But do him or her a favor, if you are allowed to visit don't stay so long as to tire him out and stay away if you are ill. But do call, write and understand if they are too tired to be good company.
