Mononucleosis, often caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), is primarily transmitted through saliva, which is why it's commonly referred to as the "kissing disease." While the virus can be present in urine, the risk of contracting mononucleosis through urine is considered very low. The primary modes of transmission are through direct contact with infected saliva, sharing drinks, or using utensils with an infected person. Therefore, urine is not a significant route for the spread of mononucleosis.
