So once you get mono, your a carrier for it forever after?

Yes, as you are with any virus ...it just stays dormant. With mono you are contagious for quite a while after you initially get it ...like a year and a half and then randomly throughout your life you can become contagious (not randomly but I'm not sure what has to take place for you to be contagious). A small percentage of people with mono actually have one or more relapses where the symptoms return ...that would suck. Most people end up having mono though, 80-90 percentiles I think. Pretty certain it's in the 90 percentiles. However, with each new generation there's a new crop for mono to infect :P.
