How is mononucleosis is contracted?

Answer 1

You can get mono from making out with people, which is why it is sometimes called the "kissing disease." An uninfected but susceptible individual receives the virus from the saliva of someone who already has it (a carrier), and it can trigger the outbreak of the associated disease. Most people exposed to the virus have few or no symptoms.

Answer 2

By contact with viral-infected saliva through coughing, sneezing, kissing, or the sharing of items such as drinking glasses, eating utensils, straws, toothbrushes, or lip gloss. Some evidence indicates that in teens and young adults IM is primarily transmitted by sexual intercourse.
