Question about Mono

I have already had mono in the past. But i'm wondering if I can get mono again from kissing someone who has already had it before. I am aware that it can relapse if you don't get enough rest, thats how she got it. But that catch is, she has it again from not enough sleep. So can I get mono from someone who's already had it, and has it again, if i've already had it?

I got mono from kissing a frog. It turned into Prince. If I hear purple rain one more time I'm going to kill him

pretty sure once you get mono, you carry it with you forever you just don't get sick off it ever again, and others with mono can't get you sick.

If you had once your chances of getting it again are severely reduced regardless of who you come in contact with

So, your saying I can hook up with her, and have a small risk of catching it again?

As of right now, all I know is that you can only relapse. That means have the symptoms come back. And the way that I know for sure you can relapse is not getting enough rest. But im still fuzzy if you can relapse from another person, even if they have already had it.

pro tip: avoid those who have mono - look for other people...

you cant


only way itd come back is through a relapse

you cant "get mono" again..... once you've had it you always have it, you just experience symptoms every once in a while

there's a very slim chance you'd get full blown symptoms again. you'll always carry the antibodies for it, so generally you're good.

source, quick google search. and I study medicine.
