Not always Strep: I recommend you go get strep test or even strep culture again as white spots do not indicate strep. Viral infection can present with white spots also.

Friends, family, etc: One gets strep throat AFTER mononucleosis for the same reason one gets strep BEFORE mono... friends, family, coworkers, etc... Strep is caused by a bacteria, transmitted by close contact such as between family members. Mono is caused by a virus, also transmitted by close contact. Both are common human conditions, which means a person can get one before the other or both at the same time.
