Mononucleosis: "EBV nuclear antigen (EBNA) Antibody to EBNA, determined by the standard immunofluorescent test, is not seen in the acute phase of EBV infection but slowly appears two to four months after onset of symptoms and persists for the rest of a person’s life."

Hello! I wanted to ask, whether doctors can tell, if you had mono (or were exposed to EBV) before through blood tests? Could they see the inactive virus? Thank you for answering
Went to doc for lymphadenopathy. Checked me for ebvirus and mono.I never had mono but had high amt of EBV virus in me. When checked. Is this the caus?
EBV IGM less than 36. EBV nuclear antigen greater than 600. EBV IGG is 94.4. Doctor insists mono is causing my symptoms. Isnt all of this indicative of past infection rather than current or primary infection since my IGM is negative?
I've never had mono, but my doc did a test to check for the antibodies and my ebna was 5.00 which was very high. Does this mean I have chronic ebv?
I had an EBV panel a while back and all my anti bodies were elevated. Doc said this is what has been causing my low grade fevers. Is this true? And i've never had actual mono before so will I have this forever?
