how can you get mono?

Question

and can you get it from someone who doesnt have it, in that case, how does it start?

Answer 1

Mono, sometimes called glandular fever or “the kissing disease” is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, a member of the herpesvirus family. Infection with this virus causes a sudden increase in mononuclear leukocytes--a type of white blood cell--this gives it is name, Infectious Mononucleosis.

How it's contracted:
Saliva is the main mode of passing Mono. In other words, no friendly “peck” on the cheek or the lips will transmit it. Saliva must be passed from one person to the other. Eating and drinking out of the same utensils may be the cause, but has to be immediate in order that saliva is shared.

Why don’t I remember any contacts?
The incubation period for Mono is long-30 to 50 days. That is a long time to remember, if you are a busy person! Add to that the fact that people who have had mono may carry the virus in their throats for a longer period of time (months) after the illness. They may feel perfectly well and have forgotten their illness.

Answer 2

It can be transmitted through and saliva contact. I got it from a restraunt that didn't wash their glasses very well. You can get it from forks and scoons that did not get properly washed too. Usually called the kissing disease because mouth to mouth saliva transfer is by far the easiest way.
