    EBV, the virus that causes infectious mononucleosis or mono, is commonly spread through saliva and enters the body through the mouth. Most people are introduced to EBV at a young age and then carry it for life without showing symptoms, acting as carriers who can transmit the virus through activities like kissing or sharing food and drinks. Those not exposed early on and those with weak immune systems are more susceptible to active mono infections when exposed to EBV.
