My boyfriend had mono from his ex gf a year ago and we've been together for 5 months and im scared to kiss him ? woulld i catch it ?

Relax: Mono can shed from oral secretions for years after a primary infection, but after 5 months you have had plenty of exposure.If you were going to get it from him you probably would have by now.Many kids get it in early childhood and it goes by like a simple viral illness. You may already be immune.
