About 8 months ago I got what I thought was a really bad flu while I was in Europe. It lasted about 3 weeks and the symptoms were: sore throat, nasal congestion, nausea, fever, vomiting, muscle pain, cough. After a while I got better, then 2 weeks later I caught the same thing. and was sick for a month. Ive been better since, but for some reason whenever I share drinks or kiss someone both of us get really sick. Should this still be contagious after 8 months? Yesterday my room mate got sick from using the same mug that I used and I am starting to worry this will be a permanent thing.

Thanks for your help!

    hard to tell but i would hope you've been to the doctor for this. A simple blood test can tell you if you have mono/ebv. Also when traveling its best to check because it could be anything. Especially with fever and stuff. I would advise you to visit your doctor, thats for sure...
