Other than HIV and Mono , what other long lasting viruses are there?

Hi, Ive been ill for at least 6-12 months with what seems to be a virus. I have also passed it on to my GF who also has the same symptoms as me and has been suffering from 2-3 months.
I have tested - for HIV
I was wondering, other than HIV and mono, what other long lasting viruses are there? Im talking about viruses that last longer than 4-6 months.
Also, can someone test negative for mono but positive for Epstein barr virus?

Thank you

Have you had a blood count done?  If it has lasted this long it may be an infection, and not a virus.

Hep is a very common one, I know of. Thats very rare but possible, since mistakes can be made. Any who it does not have to be a virus, it could be something else or a series of sickness'
