Can I Prevent Mono after exposure? Posted: 05-17-07 14:50pm
Today, my boyfriend of about a month and a
half went to the hospital and was
diagnosed with mono. He's been sick for
well over a week already and I'm fairly
certain we've had enough close contact
that I've contracted the virus as well (no
symptoms as of yet).
My question is: Can I start taking some
sort of medecine to combat the virus now
or do I have to wait for symptoms to
appear?
I have had mono before, about 5 years ago
and subsequently had my tonsils taken out.
I don't expect the symptoms this time
around would be as bad since I don't have
my tonsils, but I would rather avoid them
altogether if at all possible.
