Can you pass epstein barr to others?

The answer is yes. The Epstein Barr Virus, or EBV for short is one of the most common viruses found in humans. It can be passed from someone who has it to someone who doesn't by Oral Transmission, or by airborne transmission. While EBV is usually asymptomatic (meaning it doesn't do anything to you), it has resulted in Herpes Simplex (a very rare occurance), as well as Mononucleosis (a somewhat rare occurance). The only way that this occurances would happen is if the Epstein Barr Virus was active, and those you came in contact with were showing heavy symptoms.
