Hey. I wasn't too sure were to post this (Given its not a cold - or a Disease). But I figured since alot of teens get it - someone might be able to answer my question.

First - If you kiss someone with Glandular Fever - Is it 100% that you'll contract the virus?
Second - Since its passed through the saliva, kissing obviously passes the disease. But would recieving head from someone with it infect you?

thx.

No, things are rarely 100% when it comes to contracting a disease.

I thought your second question was interesting, so I looked it up. It doesn't seem likely that you can get mono from receiving oral sex, although some studies indicate there may be a slight chance. It's more theoretical than proven, though.
