Mono

If one has had mono before & drank after someone who was infected with no symptoms can they get it again, & could they pass it?
Two weeks ago I drank after someone who was infected & they just now were diagnosed. I'm concerned that I will get it again or that I gave it to someone else.

In general you can never get the same virus twice as your body builds up antibodies to it. I am unsure how many strains of the mono (epstien bar) virus there are though.

I believe you can, although it's rare for a reoccurance.  You could load up on your vitamin intake, maintain an extra healthy diet, just to keep your immune system running at its maximum.  2 weeks with no symptoms, I wouldnt worry about it.  I think you would have it within days, at least I did (within 3 of exp).
