95% of the entire world's population has been exposed and carry antibodies for the epstein barr virus (ebv), ie, mononucleosis.
the virus in most is found unactivated in spinal fluid. it can also reactivate at any time. sometimes it can cause shingles, in others, it can remain in a chronic state.

Mononucleosis remains in your body for life. You are infectious for about 4 to 6 weeks of onset. No, you cannot spread it anymore.
For more info, the other lady that said it can show up as shingles, is totally wrong, shingles is a form of chicken pocks, I think she has them mixed up.
