Can mono be spread through sex?!
Question: yes
How mono is spread
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) can be found in saliva and mucus (and sometimes tears). EBV is not spread by casual contact. You can live in the same house with a person who has mono and never become infected with the virus. However, a family member who has a weakened immune system may be at higher risk for infectious mono. Mono can continue to be spread by those who previously had mono but no longer have symptoms.
EBV lives and grows in your nose and throat. Any fluid that comes from these parts of the body, including saliva, tears, or mucus, can be infected with the virus. The virus (EBV) is spread when people come in contact with infected fluids.
EBV can be spread through intimate contact or sharing of saliva. (A brief kiss on the lips is not likely to spread EBV; it is spread when saliva from an infected person enters another person's mouth.)
You can get EBV if you share a drinking glass or eating utensils with an infected person (through sharing saliva).
Rarely, an infection can occur after receiving blood from a person who is infected with EBV.
Some people carry EBV in their bodies throughout their lives but never get mono symptoms. From time to time the virus can become active and be spread to others. Lifetime carriers of EBV are the most common source of EBV infection.
Contagious and incubation period
You can pass the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) to others as long as the virus can be found in your throat. This can last for several months to many years.
Not all people who become infected with EBV get symptoms of mono. But they can still spread the virus to others.
There is a small risk of spreading EBV through blood products. If you know you have mono, you should not donate blood.
It takes 4 to 6 weeks for symptoms to develop once you come in contact with EBV. This is called the incubation period.

kissing
Depends on if you kiss during sex.
Most do. So I say yes. =P
Yes.. if you kiss the person during sex then you will get it more than likely.. or even if you just kiss the person.. which is what most people do before it leads to that point. Anywho..
yes. If you are deep kissing for a long period of time or sharing drinks, you greatly increase your chances.
Yeah. In fact, it's usually spread through kissing. Uh oh time?
its spread orally through saliva
