Okay so today is wednesday and just this past friday night i hooked up with this girl and on monday i had a sore throat and then tuesday i was dizzy and had a headache. I leave school go to the doc and take a strep test...negative. I woke up this morning in even more pain. I go to the doc again and he says it may be mono. I got the monospot today but i won't no the results til tomoro. I read that it takes 4-6 weeks of incubation, well 4-6 weeks ago i hadn't hooked up for like 4 months. Is there any chance that the girl friday night gave me mono or was it from somethin random like a month ago? And im 15 if that helps with your "diagnosis"

There is no chance that you got mono from your liason last weekend. What you read about the long incubation period is correct. In fact, you cannot be sure you have mono. The mono spot test may not turn positive until you have been symptomatic for a week.
There are many viral infections that mimic mono and have shorter incubation periods. Fortunately, they usually run a shorter course.
