How mono is spread

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) can be found in saliva and mucus (and sometimes tears)!. EBV is not spread by casual contact!. You can live in the same house with a person who has mono and never become infected with the virus!. But a person who has a weakened immune system may be at higher risk for infectious mono!. It's possible that people who have had mono can spread the virus even though they no longer have symptoms!.

* EBV lives and grows in the nose and throat!. Any fluid that comes from these parts of the body, including saliva, tears, or mucus, can be infected with the virus!. The virus (EBV) is spread when people come in contact with infected fluids!.
* EBV can be spread through intimate contact or sharing of saliva!. (A brief kiss on the lips is not likely to spread EBV!. It is spread when saliva from an infected person gets into another person's mouth!.)
* You can get EBV if you share a drinking glass or eating utensils with an infected person (through sharing saliva)!.
* In rare cases, someone can get an infection after receiving blood from a person who is infected with EBV!.
* Most people get infected with EBV at some point in their lives but never get mono symptoms!. EBV "sleeps" (is dormant) in the body!. It can become active from time to time and spread to others!. When it reactivates, most people do not have symptoms!. Many healthy people carry the virus and spread it every now and then throughout their lives!. Lifetime carriers of EBV are the most common source of EBV infection!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Probably pretty slim!. Mono is only contagious for two weeks after initial symptoms occur!. If your still in that two week time frame its about 50/50, but unlikely!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Depends if he drank from the same bit of the glass and if your saliva was on there - if he did and it was then the chances are quite high xxxWww@Answer-Health@Com
