Can mono be passed through seamen? Can
mono be passed from mouth to body contact?
Is it recommended that I do not engage in
any sexual activity until I am completly
better which would be 4-6 weeks I hear.
Thanks for any answers, and I apologize my
post is a little incoherent.

Mono is not highly contagious and many
college students are immune to mono
without knowing it. Mono is passed by
close contact, not by casual contact with
roommates or friends. Mono is spread
through saliva so intimate contact
(kissing, sharing drinking glasses, etc.)
is the usual method of spreading mono.
The virus can be in the saliva (and
capable of being passed to another person)
on and off for a
lifetime.
the virus that causes mono
is only spread through saliva and mucus.
Common sources of infection are kissing,
sharing beverages, and sharing eating
utensils.
It is not passed through blood, and is not
airborne.
