Can Mono Be Transmitted Through Physical Relationship?

I have never had mono or symptoms of mono, but my friend who I have made out with quite a few times this week is showing symptoms. He was a little sick before we made out, but this week he has been going in and out of sickness. He has had a bad head ache occasionally, sore throat, coughing, and today his temperature sky rocketed to 101.4. He feels heavy and it's difficult to move around and he also has a sore throat. Could I have done this to him?

Thanks for contacting HCM

You are concerned that you may have transmitted a viral illness to your partner. To transmit an illness to someone you must have been ill too. If you have been well for the past 2 -4 weeks then you could not have transmitted to him any illnesses. But be aware that anytime that you are kissing or intimate with anyone there is always a chance of transmitting a virus illness like a cold or flu. This is all part of the human condition and should not alarm you in any way.

Hope this answers your question. Please contact us again with your medical concerns and questions
