"Mononucleosis is a respiratory virus that affects the blood cells and salivary glands (glands responsible for producing saliva). Even though anyone can get mononucleosis, most people who get the illness are between the ages of 15 and 25. Mono can keep you out of work or school for several weeks or months.
Mononucleosis, sometimes called "mono," is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, a member of the herpes family. Although this virus is one of several herpes viruses, it has nothing to do with cold sores or genital herpes, although it may trigger an outbreak if you already suffer from either strain of herpes.
Mono is classified as a herpes virus because once you've been infected, the virus stays in your body for the rest of your life. However, you probably won't get the symptoms of mono more than once.
You can get mononucleosis through direct contact with infected saliva. Anything as innocent as sharing a straw or an eating utensil can expose you to the virus.
Another common way to catch Mono is by kissing someone who's infected. This is why the illness is sometimes called the "kissing disease." Although a quick kiss between friends probably won't do any harm, intimate kissing with someone who's infected or who has recently had mononucleosis can put you at greater risk for getting the disease. The virus can lie dormant and be passed onto you or others without the infected person ever having symptoms of the virus. "--Thanks to LS.com
As you can see you can get mono quite easily, and it is serious. You/your boyfriend need to get the medication from your doctor and ask your doctor exactly how sever it is and how long it will be until you can share things/kiss again. IF either of you still has mono, if you can catch it by sharing a drink, I doubt you can have oral sex without catching it as well. I've heard different times of how long you have to wait after you've been "cured", though I've never heard 6 months but I've heard a couple weeks, so I'm guessing it would depend on, again, how sever either of you has it. Asking your doctor is the best thing because no one on here is a licensed doctor (that I know of). He/She would be the best person to ask most of these questions too but I think this covered most of what you asked.
