Can you pass the infection to your wife of mononucleosis?

Yes, mononucleosis, often caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), can be transmitted through saliva, which means it is possible to pass the infection to your wife through kissing or sharing utensils. However, not everyone who is infected with EBV develops mononucleosis, and many people carry the virus without showing symptoms. It’s important to practice good hygiene and avoid close contact if you're experiencing symptoms of the illness. If you have concerns, consult a healthcare professional for advice.
