Is there a difference between Infectious mononucleosis and strep throat?

---

both appear to have the same symptoms.. how can i differenciate between the two
Yes, they are two totally different diseases.

Mono is caused by a virus (Epstein-Barr virus). If you get mono, you'll be sick for about a month, and it goes away on its own. Occasionally there can be complications, such as a ruptured spleen, from mono. Antibiotics are useless against mono.

Strep throat is caused by a bacterium (Streptococcus pyogenes) and SHOULD be treated with antibiotics. Complications from untreated strep can include permanent heart disease and kidney failure.

There is a rapid strep test that you can take to find out if you have strep. ALL strep throat should be treated.  (+ info)

Does Infectious Mononucleosis has any relation with AIDS?

I did a blood test,and the Doctor told me that i have Infectious Mononucleosis, but i am worry if this disease can cause AIDS also??!!!
no. they have absolutely nothing to do with each other....infectious meaning its an infection that you can potentially spread to other people....mono is known as the "kissing disease" because it is spread though saliva...like during kissing. also through sharing drinks and stuff with your friends...nothing to do with aids.  (+ info)

Can I get Infectious Mononucleosis from someone who used to have it but is now cured?

Once someone gets mono, the virus stays in that person's body for life. But this doesn't mean that if you've had mono you are always contagious. Over time, the virus becomes less contagious. Eventually, it's very unlikely that a person who had mono will transmit the virus to someone else.

People who have mono can be contagious from the time they first become infected with the virus. But they may not know that they have the virus in its early stages. That's because it takes a while from the time a person is infected to the time show up — about 4 to 7 weeks in fact. (This is called the incubation period.)

To make it even more confusing, some people can carry the virus without having any symptoms of mono, so they might not know they have the infection at all.

Mono needs to run its course naturally over about 2 to 4 weeks — and some people feel tired for several weeks longer. It's important to take care of yourself if you have mono and get lots of rest.

Doctors and researchers aren't exactly sure how long someone with mono stays contagious after symptoms are gone. But it's generally believed that a person can spread the infection for many months after the symptoms are completely gone — some studies show as long as 18 months. But after that, it's very unlikely that a person will give someone else mono.

Mononucleosis (which is caused by the Epstein-Barr Virus) is a droplet-borne infection, which means it is spread via saliva, which gets into the nose or mouth and causes the infection. EBV is not typically spread via oral sex.

However, a strep throat infection can often accompany mononucleosis. If you haven't been tested for strep throat and you have any signs/symptoms of it (sore throat, white patches), you don't want to perform oral sex on your partner.

If you kiss your partner, he can contract EBV from you. However, about 90% of people have had EBV by the time they're adults, so it's even possible your partner has already had it. Once you have EBV (or mono), you cannot get it again.  (+ info)
