Can the Mono test detect other diseases? HELP

Hi, i tested positive for infectious mono (the kissing disease). I am aware that the body's immune system produces antibodies to attack and help destroy invading viruses and bacteria. These specific antibodies can be detected in the blood of people who have been infected. So can my positive Mono test results detect HIV or trigger it to be positive? Can testing for EBV antibodies become positive due to other diseases?
