Can You Get Mono Twice?
5. A Dormant Infection
When we develop an infection, our immune system will usually set about destroying whatever pathogen has caused it. It will usually result in the pathogen being removed from the body altogether, while the immune system will also develop more resistance to any future infections that might occur.
This is not the case with mono, however. When somebody has contracted the virus, it will remain with them for the rest of their lives, only it will usually remain in a dormant state. During this dormant stage, the host will feel no symptoms whatsoever. In some instances, the host will never show any symptoms as a result of the virus.
