I know for bronchitus, they said that after 24 hours of taking my antibiotics, I would not longer be contagious, and I could go to school.  So I don't know if that would be the same for mono or not... And if mono is viral, then I have no clue... -- Posted by catiebri at 12:32 pm on Sep. 28, 2008 it is only contagious if u drink after a person who has ro kiss someone who has it. and a few other ways. but most of the time u have to go to the hospital for a few days before it gets real bad because it can be deadly -- Posted by carracer at 12:33 pm on Sep. 28, 2008 Quote: from Natsy at 12:28 pm on Sep. 28, 2008 Quote: from carracer at 8:26 pm on Sep. 28, 2008 Quote: from Natsy at 12:25 pm on Sep. 28, 2008 its not infectious so whenever i guess...    um.    yes it is.    its actually pretty contagious. oh... then what the hell am i thinking of that begins with mono and isnt contagious? i couldn't tell you also to the OP, you probably are not allowed in school until you are not contagious you need medication from the doctor and it may take over a week for you to not be contagious -- Posted by carracer at 12:34 pm on Sep. 28, 2008 Quote: from Just Waiting Here at 12:30 pm on Sep. 28, 2008 Um, I don't know much about mono, I haven't really looked into it... is it a bacteria related thing, ie, are there antiobiotics associated with mono?
