I get where you’re coming from—dealing with the possibility of catching something can really put you on edge. The majority of studies suggest that mononucleosis is spread through saliva rather than through semen or other sexual fluids. That’s why most transmission happens through kissing or sharing drinks.
It seems that even if your boyfriend was sick, avoiding kissing should have reduced your risk significantly. The virus’s primary pathway is not through sexual fluids, so while the worry is understandable, the evidence points to a low likelihood of transmission this way.
That being said, it’s natural to feel paranoid when your mind starts playing tricks on you. If you haven’t experienced any symptoms like fatigue, sore throat, or swollen glands, you’re likely in the clear. It might help to keep a symptom diary just to reassure yourself over the next couple of weeks.
Ultimately, staying calm and focusing on facts is key. If you’re still uneasy, a quick visit to your doctor can give you peace of mind and perhaps even some additional advice tailored to your situation.
