Is it possible to get mono twice?

Is it possible for me to get MONO ?

• my friend has a weak case of mono. her neck is swollen but she doenst have a fever or anything. she's alright . we shared a drink once and i ate the candy after her. but its been only a week since she's had mono so i dont think i'll get it. cuz she's on early stage so maybe the virus has not reached to her mouth yet...? idk i've got some questions for u 1. would i get it? 2. if so, how long does it take to appear? my friend who had mono before said if you get mono from the person who doesn't have mono, it'd take a few months. But if you get it from someone who has mono RIGHT NOW, you'll get it in a week or so. it that true? 3. wat are the symptoms?

• Answer:

  1. Maybe. It can be spread by coughing and sneezing, much as the common cold or flu; contrary to its name "kissing disease" it does not require direct oral contact. 2. It takes 1-2 months to show, and lasts up to 2 months. 3. Mostly the same as strep throat Children don't get it nearly as severely as adults do and may not show any symptoms at all, by the way, to the later answerer.
