A member asked:

I wasnt aware that the person I kissed had the mono virus about 5 years ago, I understand the virus never leaves the body once you have it but is it still transferable at that point? Like would it cause me to get sick now?

How long after someone has EBV are they contagious through kissing? How about for people with "chronic mono" (regardless of how real that is)?
My boyfriend has mono even though hes a germaphobe and only shares stuff with/kisses me. I dont have mono and I took a test 3 days after his diagnosis and I tested negative. Where would he have gotten it from & why dont I have it if I kiss him?
