[|Human|] Hello, I just had mononucleosis. It started with an angina, with its usual process. I managed to get well in a month, after the diagnosis. My spleen was ok, my liver a little bigger. Around a week ago, I was told I dont have mononucleosis anymore, my liver is all fine now, just the EB virus is ending.. or how could I say? Lingering? I wasnt told to go to another blood test, so I would like to ask, if it is okay to kiss, if the EB virus is still lingering? How long will it .. linger? I was told I can even do sports, even though I read everywhere, that a person shouldnt do sports for atleast 2 months. Thank you in advance for your reply. I couldnt find a reply to my question anywhere.
[|AI|]  Hi there, Good question, you don't need a repeat blood test, and it is good to hear you are overall recovering.  It is difficult to know how long you will shed the virus in your saliva, so to play it completely safe I would check with the person you intend to share physical contact and let them know about your recent illness.  Some experts believe the virus could be transmissible up to 6-18 months after getting the initial diagnosis though you most likely wouldn't have symptoms that far out after having the initial bout of symptoms.
