From Wikipedia "Mononucleosis is typically transmitted from asymptomatic individuals through saliva, earning it the name "the kissing disease", or by sharing a drink, or sharing eating utensils. It may also be transmitted through blood. "
If there was no exchange of saliva or blood, I'd say the odds are very low you could have gotten mono. It is remotely possible it can be transmitted airborne, but very unlikely.
Further "Symptoms usually appear 4-6 weeks after exposure" and can include fever, sore throat, tender lymph nodes, and fatigue. If you experience these symptoms or feel sick in any way, you should see a doctor.
If I had to put money on it, I'd bet you didn't get mono, you didn't make out, and its the "kissing disease".

Duplex answer rewsna xelpud!?!
If he got it, and you don't have it, then he may have got it from you! Regardless, he should see a doctor, as should you.
And, BTW,how do you have "sex", but not "make out"??? I think most of us would agree that it's referred to as "rape", and you need to discuss this with your parents.
