Question: Is it contagious if you are around a person with mono!?
My friend has mono and I am wondering if it is contagious to go to her house to hang with her twin for like an hour!. I know mono spreads through saliva but I am not sure if it spreads through just regular contact or anything!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Infectious mono is passed from person to peson by direct contact with infected saliva!. Just be careful, wash your hands after handling things she's touched, don't share with her anything that has come into conatct with her mouth, ask her to cover her mouth with tissue when she coughs and you should be fine!. Mono is caused by both Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV)!. These are such common viruses that the chances are good you already carry one or the other!. You can't get the same one twice!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Like you said, it is spread through saliva!. So unless you're sharing a drink or swapping saliva in any other way you are fine!Www@Answer-Health@Com
