Question:
I have recently been diagnosed with mononucleosis. I am almost positive that my girlfriend will develop it, because we have been kissing intimately, and I hadn't known that I had it. My question is, am I able to still hang out with her and be intimate? Am I allowed to kiss her if we are both infected? What about if I get over mono, but she still has it, and we kiss... will I get it again? If we both have it, is it okay that we kiss intimately? or no? please please answer as soon as possible. you can email me. Thanks!!

Yours is an excellent question, and I will answer it with what I know but I also urge you to put this question in again to one of the experts who has an MD after their name. The MD's are more likely to have expertise in mononucleosis.
My understanding is that it depends on what type of mono you have on whether you can continue to reexpose each other. Because you do not know for sure, you probably should not kiss intimately and give each other more germs. Reexposure will delay becoming fully healthy again.
Please write this question to others to check this answer though.Reviewed by: Patricia Fawver Ph.D. in Sexology
