I know it can be really stressful trying to decipher how viruses are transmitted, especially when personal interactions mix with intimate contact. In my understanding, mono is predominantly transmitted through saliva, not through the semen. This is why it’s often associated with kissing rather than with other forms of bodily contact.
Even though it’s natural to overthink every little detail—especially when you’re trying to give up certain habits—most evidence suggests that the risk of catching mono during sex (without kissing) is very low. It’s more about the close exchange of saliva that really facilitates transmission.
That said, it’s always wise to be cautious. If you notice any unusual symptoms like persistent fatigue or a sore throat, it might be worth checking in with your doctor. Sometimes our minds can amplify fears, so getting professional advice can help put your worries into perspective.
At the end of the day, focusing on overall health and maintaining open communication with your partner are your best strategies. Don’t let the uncertainty overshadow the positive aspects of your relationship and personal well-being.
