Answers:
Mono is not airborne!. It is transferred by saliva!.

Do not come into contact with anything that may have contacted saliva!.!.!.!.!.Wash your hands often as most illnesses are transferred by contact!. Studies suggest that washing often is just as effective as disinfectants!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I agree with the suggestion to wash one's hands as that can help to kill bacteria and viruses!. They used to refer to mono as 'the kissing diease' :) Not to use drinking glasses, anything with saliva of the other person as the other postee mentioned!. I like the motto, 'when in doubt, ask' ;) I would call or talk with someone from health services and ask about any precautions that one may need to take if rooming with someone who has mono!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
