Could i get herpes simplez 1 virus if i had infectious mononucleosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Mononucleosis is caused by the epstein barr virus. Although this is one of the herpes viruses it is totally different from hsv1. Infection with ebv will not protect against subsequent infection with hsv1 nor vice versa.
