If I have mono does it mean I have Hiv and is it deadly?

Q: My throat has been swollen for a couple months and hasn’t healed. I don’t know if its Hiv. I don’t have any other symptoms of Hiv. My tonsials are swelling and its starting to have some white spots. Do I have Hiv? Or it it Mono? Is it a deadly virus?

A: Mono and HIV are 2 completely different things. Having mono does not mean that you have HIV. Most people who have HIV have no symptoms, so the only way to find out if you have HIV is to get tested. HIV is transmitted by unprotected sex with someone who is infected, sharing needles for drug use with someone who is infected, or it can be transmitted from an infected woman to her child during delivery or breastfeeding. If you feel you may have been exposed to HIV, get tested. However, as I said, having mono does not mean that you also have HIV. See your doctor.

But this viral illness can be aggressive like the flu, muscle ache, tiredness, lightheadness, abdominal pain, thoat pain with bigh tonsils and nodes.

In teens a period of surveillance is important to check the spleen and make sure it has not been elarged. Some doctors do no hesitte to do and ultrssound of the spleen. What I have seen more and more in may patients is the prolonged period of “not feeling good” and a feeling of wonder land. I hope this answer your question. Get better soon.

Mono most commonly develops in young adults between the ages of 15 and 24.1 The virus can be spread through contact with saliva, mucus (from the nose and throat), and sometimes tears.
