Hello! I wanted to ask, whether doctors can tell, if you had mono (or were exposed to EBV) before through blood tests? Could they see the inactive virus? Thank you for answering

What does it mean when your nuclear on EBV mono testing is 8.43. Doesn't show I have active mono but i feel sick?
I test positive for active EBV last year and I am having the same symptoms again, I've been tested for everything but EBV. Is there a reason they don't test it again? Is it worth testing for?
