Is a peck on the lips just as likely to give you mono as making out?

Mono and Lips: The virus that causes mononucleosis EBV lives and grows in the nose and the throat. Any fluids that come from these part including saliva and tears can be infected with the virus. People can get infected when there is contact with the saliva, mucus or tears of the person who has the virus. However a brief kiss on the lips is not likely to spread the virus if there is no infected saliva contact
