Is it possible to get mono from someone who had it 4 months ago?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely,but possibl: The contagious period for mono is generally considered the first 3-4 weeks.However, the virus then will go dormant in a patient and may intermittently return to be secreted in the saliva over months or years.
