Not much: Most adults had mono as kids as a minor viral illness & are immune for life.I assume your BF was contagious when you kissed,as most are highly contagious for 2-3 wks after diagnosis & likely before.This viral illness takes several weeks to become symptomatic. It is much more likely to cause a significant illness in adults than young kids but there is nothing you can do to prevent it if susceptible
