A member asked:
What are the chances i will get glandular fever if my boyfriend has it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible.: Chances are as an adult you may have already had it. Infectious mono is a common illness and 90% of adults have antibody against the virus which indicates prior exposure. It is not particularly contagious, but may be shed in secretions for years after the infection. Reasonable to avoid contact for the acute period.
