25M with reactivated mono infection based on antibody tests. My girlfriend already has antibodies, do i need to avoid her once my acute phase is over?
Hey everyone, last week a previous mono infection of mine reactivated which was confirmed via antibody testing. I was under stress from almost every single corner of my life for the last 4-6 weeks and decided to do some sudden extreme physical activity two days before the symptoms showed up. I think that caused the perfect storm for the infection to reactivate.
However, my gf wants to see me and I would love to see her but I want to be safe about this. Since she already has antibodies and likely doesnt have a compromised immune system due to stress could i see her once the sore throat and fever subside? Im currently on day 8 of symptoms so im hoping between 1/3 and 1/2 way through. The fevers are already decreasing in intensity but the sore throat is pretty much the same which thankfully has been on the mild to medium side.
