Q: What Are My Chances of Having Mono?

I've read that a person with mono is most contageous when they have a fever. The other day, my boyfriend had a fever, and we had kissed a few times that day. Today he was diagnosed with mono. I've been taking care of him for the past few days, and during this time we have shared drinks, eating utensils, and kissed on several occasions. Am I positively infected? What are my chances?
