How Long Until..?
Posted: 09-23-05 22:19pm

So I definitly have mono, and i'm wondering when I can kiss again. Silly I know, but i've been reading websites that say 6 months to a year? That's slightly unrealistic. Once the symptoms go away, how long until I can kiss again?

And for people that had mono. Is it necessary to tell people that you have it? Especially in the upcoming year?

Unfortunately it seems not. You are most contageous right before your symptoms start, but can be contageous to others for quite some time. If you are with people or a person who has had Mono before, don't worry about spreading it to them. They cannot get it after they have had it once. You become immune to it, like chicken pox. You can relapse into it, however, soon after if you dont take it easy for a while. You need to just take it easy for a few months.
