If you have had mono can you catch it from someone else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes & no: The majority of moono is caused by the eb virus and prior infection will protect you for life.However, there are some other germs that can cause about 20% of mono and that eb virus you had in the past does not give you immunity to the other forms.
