My friend was recently diagnosed with ebv flare ups causing her long bouts of tiredness etc. is it worth getting myself tested for it as well or do i just assume i have it and manage it by keeping my immune system strong?

Ebstein Barr virus : Ebstein bar virus is a very common infection. Most people just get over it and have no long-lasting symptoms. It can present like a cold. If you have no symptoms there is no point in getting tested. See your doctor for healthy living advice. Eat well, exercise based on your health capacity, sleep well, rest, enjoy the support of people, deal with any emotional issues.
