could you get it??

Question

Well i was wondering, when a person has mono, it usually lasts maybe weeks or months. And then it turns into the EBV right? Well how do you exactly catch mono? I know where and how you can get it, but when do you get it, as in if the person is active with the mono virus? can you get it when the virus isnt active in their system? Or when the mono has turned into EBV? i need some info on this please...The thing is, im worried i have mono, but im not exactly sure if i do or not. I have a little lump on the left side of my neck under my ear area, and when i push on it, it feels a little sore. I dont have a sore throat at all or have had one. Ive had low grade fever, maybe around 99.2 degrees, around there usually. and ive been a little achy. Yes, i know it could be a cold, but i have no other symptoms but that. no runny nose or anything. Im not even sure if my boyfriend has or ever had mono! hes never told me, and i would have never known if he did. give me some info please. thanks

im mainly just wondering, do you only get mono when the virus is active in the other person, or can you get it if its not active?

Answer 1

You go get a blood test called a mono spot.
It doesn't turn in to EBV, it caused by EBV.
The virus causes the disease.
You boyfriend should also have the mono spot done, then you could find out if he had it in the past...

Answer 2

they saysometimes it takes about 30-60 days forthe virus symptoms to occur, sometimes they come out 2 weeks later.


my ex bf and i dated from sept-nov, i had been 'intimate' with him and he basically had the symptoms (reeeaallly tired) from the beginning. Closer to November he had more symptoms, and they got worse. the day after we broke up he went to the doctors, they said he had mono and he was out until february

but the funny thing is i nvr got it , and since its known as the kissing diesese guessi was lucky

Answer 3

Just go to the doctor already, please! Good luck!
