? lab confirmed ?: The average young adult with mono is contagious for 3 weeks and rarely 3 months.If you are feeling better you may be able to function, but your workplace may have issues with your returning with a contagious illness. If the position you hold would allow for minimal co-worker contact you might return, but this should be a discussion you have with your supervisor.

Mono: Sure, mono is a viral infection and typically most infected people don't even know they are infected. Most improve between 1 week to 4 weeks, so consider yourself normal and lucky.
