Am I Still Contagious?
Posted: 12-09-04 20:17pm

Hello im 16 and was diagnosed with mono about 6 weeks ago... But my girlfriend will not come near me until I am sure if im not contagious anymore. I know that u cant be exactly sure, but I need to know how long I should wait to kiss/make out again. I was sick with symptoms for only 2 weeks which was a pretty mild case, and was tired for a week more. Will I always be contagious or will there be a time when I wont have to worry about it at all?
Ive read all over on the internet and ive been told 1 month some places. But some places I read say much longer. I have not had symptoms for about 3 weeks now. Thanks for your help

Well... I've read that mono can stay active in your system for up to five months and it is possible to spread it during that time. Something about it can shed of the back of your throat... I don't know...

But... I kissed my boyfriend the day before I found out I had mono and he never got it...

So use your own discretion...
