EBV equivoquial results

Hi, I'm 21.

I've been dealing with what seems to be mono symptoms for a month and a half and it doesn't go away (tonsils are swollen and painful, fatigue that keeps me from living my daily life with ease, muscle pain, mouth ulcers idk if it is linked but never had this before the other symptoms). Since last week my lymphatic systems seems to be going slow (swollen ankles, random cyst in elbow crease.

The symptoms started while I was dating someone so I first thought I had an sti. All tests came back negative (after waiting 6+ weeks).

In the meantime I got the ebv serology (detecting anti bodies) done and it came back saying equivoquial. 1st time was April 17th, 2nd time was May 7th. (IgM say 0.71 and 0.75)

Can the ebv anti bodies test be triggered by another herpes virus like cmv ? I wonder this virus infected me rather than ebv since my results are so confusing.

Has anybody gone through this before ? I'm starting to worry :/
