a Few Questions About Mono Posted: 04-28-05 20:52pm
I have just been diagnosed with
mononucleosis.
Now my boyfriend and I are very serious.
We plan to get married, and even start a
family in a few years. He says he really
doesn't care if he gets infected, but I
do. It's been a terrible time for me.
The virus can be passed through kissing,
which really is one of our favorite
things. I probably got infected from
work, i'm a casher. I may be a chronic
hand washer, but i'm an obsessive nail
biter.
1) would I pass the virus onto my future
children during pregnancy?
2) my boyfriend may or may not have the
virus. Should he get tested?

You will not *pass* anyzjing on to a
future child.
Your bf can't be tested for the virus
untill if/when he shows signes of the
virus, even then it could take 5-14 days
after the initial onset to have a positive
test result.
