You can get mono without kissing through sexual intercourse, sharing glasses, drinks, utensils etc.

Mono is a type of STD since mono can be sexually transmitted which means you can get mono through sexual contact and through sex.

Although mono can also be and is most often spread through contact with Saliva.

Mono is caused by the Epstein Barr Virus also known as EBV.

You can get mono through kissing, but you can also be exposed to mono by sharing a glass or food utensils with someone who has mono.

After having mono you will feel tired for one month to 2 months although some people feel tired for 3 to 4 months.

When you have mono you'll usually feel tired for at least a month or 2 months.

When it comes to exhaustion from mono, there's some variability.

The exhaustion with mono can typically last for a month or two, but it's possible for someone to only feel fatigued for a week or feel run down for as long as six months or longer.

You should go to the hospital for mono if the symptoms are getting worse or they are not improving.

However in most cases you won't need to go to the hospital as mono usually resolves on it's own.

Mono is not really that serious for most people.

However in some cases the mono may lead to a ruptured spleen requiring surgery.

You can kiss someone with mono and not get it.

Some people who have kissed someone with mono didn't get the virus but mono is still contagious and if you know someone has mono you should refrain from kissing that person.

You can kiss someone after mono after they are no longer contagious.

People usually remain contagious with mono for up to 6 months so you should wait at least 7 months to kiss someone who has had mono just to be safe.

Mono, or infectious mononucleosis, is caused by an infection with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). EBV spreads through direct contact with saliva (spit).

This can happen by sharing eating utensils, drinks, and even things like lip gloss, lipstick, or lip balm.

Yes you can get mono without kissing.

Adults can get mono from their child or even from someone else's child who has it.

Mono mostly occurs in children but adults or anyone of any age can get mono.

Mono can be spread by kissing (this is why some people call it “the kissing disease.”)

Children can get mono by sharing things such as cups, straws, toothbrushes or toys that have may have the drool of an infected person on it. Mono can occur at any age.

Mono can in rare cases affect you years later.

Although most often mono only affects a person once and usually once you get over the mono illness you usually don't have the mono illness anymore.

Mono symptoms can come on suddenly and it may take a week or 2 weeks after infections to start showing symptoms of the mono.

When you have mono you may experience symptoms such as feeling more tired than usual and have a mild fever and sore throat.

Your lymph nodes, tissue that normally acts as filters, may swell under your arms and in your neck and groin area.

You also may have body aches and pains, swollen tonsils, headache, and even a skin rash.

Mono is not curable as there's no cure for mono.

However the mono virus will go away on it's own and the illness with mono will go away on it's own.

To know if you have mono or the flu it's best to go to the doctor to find out for sure.

However with mono the symptoms can sometimes last longer than the flu and you may feel worse with the flu than you do with mono.

With mono you might feel more tired than usual and have a mild fever and sore throat.

Your lymph nodes, tissue that normally acts as filters, may swell under your arms and in your neck and groin area.

You also may have body aches and pains, swollen tonsils, headache, and even a skin rash.

Mono Symptoms Tend to Be Similar to Those of Colds and the Flu — but They May Be Worse and Last Longer.

Mono tends to bring about the same symptoms as a cold or flu, but they linger longer and can be more severe.

Symptoms of mono typically appear anywhere from four to six weeks after someone gets infected with EBV.

The mono virus stays with you forever but the illness from mono does eventually go away within a week to 14 days.

Mono does eventually go away on it's own but the mono virus will stay in your body for the rest of your life.

Still after you recover from mono you're no longer contagious.

In rare cases you can die from mono.

Although most cases of mono are not that serious enough to cause death.

Mono can be deadly in rare cases but most cases of mono are not serious enough to cause death.

Mono can be dangerous and even fatal.

Although for most people mono is nothing serious and usually goes away on it's own.

For most people, mono isn't serious, and it improves without treatment.

Still, extreme fatigue, body aches and other symptoms can interfere with school, work and daily life.

With mono, you might feel sick for about a month.

Occasionally, your spleen or liver may also swell, but mononucleosis is rarely ever fatal.

Mono is hard to distinguish from other common viruses such as the flu.

If your symptoms don't improve after 1 or 2 weeks of home treatment such as resting, getting enough fluids, and eating healthy foods, see your doctor.

A person can get mono more than once but normally people gets mono only once.

It's rare that a person gets infected with mono more than once but it can and does sometimes happen.

Most of the time, a person will have mononucleosis once.

However, it is possible to experience mono twice.

Since the body develops immunity to the virus after contracting the infection, most people do not experience mono twice.

However, in some cases, symptoms can reoccur months after acquiring the initial infection.

In some cases Mono can be a lifelong disease although some people do get over the Mono eventually.

Mono is a pretty serious disease and sometimes can be lifelong while other times the Mono can be cured but it all depends on how far the Mono has progressed before treated.

When you have Mono you may have fatigue for a few weeks after the illness was treated or has gone away and sometimes the fatigue may continue for 6 months to a year.

Dying from Mono is also possible but very rarely does Mono become life threatening or cause death in the person who has Mono.

Death from Mono usually happens because of other complications such as a ruptured spleen so if you have a ruptured spleen it needs surgery right away before it gets too bad and cause death.

If you leave Mono untreated it can lead to inflammation of the liver and development of hepatitis.

So you need to get treated for the Mono if you do have it because it can become very serious.

If you have a ruptured spleen you'll have sharp pain in the abdomen which then needs immediate surgery to fix.
