Frequently asked questions
How is the mono test done?
It uses a blood sample, usually drawn from a vein in your arm. Some clinics first use a rapid finger-stick or in-office test.
How long until I get results?
Typical turnaround is 1 to 3 business days, though in-office rapid tests may give a result the same visit.
Can mono be detected right away?
Not always. Antibodies can take time to appear, so a test early in the illness may be negative even if you have mono.
Do I need to fast?
No. Fasting is not required for a mono test.
