Can You Get Mono Twice?
10. Weakened Immune System
Our immune system is not perfect, but it is at least reasonably effective at helping to keep us safe. A strong immune system will decrease the likeliness of falling ill, and it will also decrease the likeliness that infections like mono can reappear.
Thus, people that do not have a strong immune system are more likely to find that mono will be reactivated, and that they are also more likely to experience symptoms. Those who are most at risk of the virus reactivating are those with AIDS or HIV, pregnant women, and people who have recently had surgery such as an organ transplant.
