    Mononucleosis
    I got mononucleosis like a month ago... high temperature and throat ache is over. Basically, doctors tell me I'm fine now. I know I shouldn't get back to my sports for a while, so I'll just rest for a month or two more before I start training again.

    My questions are these:

    For how long am I still going to be able to infect someone by kissing them? I want to know when will I be able to kiss my girl (mouth to mouth) again without the fear of infecting her.

    Can someone get infected if I lick them on the skin? For example, on the arm, on the neck, tummy, nipple?

    Can someone get infected if they come in contact with my sweat? I'm training Ju Jitsu, and we wrestle and sweat a lot, so I want to know if there's any fear of infecting someone if they come in contact with my sweat. Also, for the same reason: can someone get infected if they come in contact with my blood?

    Can my girl get infected if we have oral sex? Point is in me licking her :p :)

    Thanks to any help you might give.

    Let me post answers to this, just if someone ever needs it.

    My doctor told me this:

    1) I'll be able to infect someone for the rest of my life. Virus will always be in me, but I will not suffer the illness ever again. I can infect others for life though.

    2) Licking someone on the skin can not get them infected.

    3) I cannot infect anyone if they come in contact with my sweat or blood. Only saliva and phlegm.

    4) Yes she can. My saliva contains viruses, and they can enter her system by oral sex (me licking her). However, virus cannot enter her system through skin (arms, legs, tummy, neck, back... ).
