Does mononucleosis have a nuclear envelope?

Hello fellow user! The mono virus, or the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) definitely has a lipid bilayer envelope. Since it is a member of the herpes virus family, all of them have a membrane layer or envelope. The fun thing about mono is that it is called the 'kissing disease' because it is transmitted by kissing right on the mouth. It goes by another term called infectious mononucleosis. Have a good day! 😄

If you had mono 4 months ago can you still spread it to other people?

You cannot spread mono per se but you can spread the virus that causes it. And not everyone who is infected with the virus will develop disease, in fact the virus (EBV) is ubiquitous and most of the healthy population carries it. If someone had mono the symptoms usually resolves within 4 to 6 weeks but the virus will forever remain in his or her body. But as I have mentioned this is not a serious issue considering that the EBV is ubiquitous and almost everyone has it. It can be transmitted by direct oral contact: for someone who has already been exposed the virus it will cause no problems but for someone who has never had the virus before it may result in mono.
