A member asked:

Can someone get ebv without immune condition? and can i get ebv from giving my girlfriend oral sex?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

EBV: EBV- you can get without immune deficiency. Giving or getting by oral sex less likely and it is called the "kissing" disease for the reason that saliva carries the virus at high level.
