Frequently Asked Questions
What is the EBV Screening Tool?
Our EBV screening tool is a comprehensive questionnaire that evaluates symptoms, risk factors, and exposure history to help determine if you should seek Epstein-Barr virus testing. It provides personalized recommendations based on current medical guidelines and clinical protocols used by healthcare professionals.
How accurate is this EBV assessment?
This tool is designed for educational purposes and initial risk assessment only. While based on medical guidelines and clinical evidence, it cannot replace professional medical diagnosis. The assessment helps identify when professional testing is recommended, but always consult a healthcare provider for definitive testing and treatment.
What symptoms does this tool check for?
The assessment evaluates common EBV symptoms including sore throat, fever, extreme fatigue, swollen lymph nodes (especially in neck and armpits), headaches, body aches, enlarged liver or spleen, and skin rash. It also considers important transmission risk factors and exposure history.
Is my information kept private?
Yes, all assessment data is processed locally in your browser and is not stored, transmitted, or shared with any servers or third parties. Your privacy and confidentiality are fully protected throughout the assessment process. We do not collect or store any personal health information.
Can EBV be transmitted sexually?
Yes, while EBV is primarily known as the "kissing disease" due to transmission through saliva, it can also be transmitted through sexual contact via bodily fluids including blood, semen, and vaginal secretions. This makes it important to consider sexual health history during risk assessment.
What should I do if the assessment suggests high risk?
If the assessment indicates high risk, we strongly recommend scheduling an appointment with a healthcare provider for professional evaluation. Blood tests can detect EBV antibodies (IgM and IgG) and viral DNA through PCR testing to confirm active or past infection.
How is EBV diagnosed and treated?
EBV is diagnosed through blood tests including antibody tests (monospot test, EBV-specific antibodies) and PCR tests for viral DNA. There is no specific antiviral treatment for EBV; management focuses on symptom relief with rest, adequate fluids, pain relievers, and avoiding contact sports due to spleen enlargement risk.
How long does EBV infection last?
Most people recover from acute EBV infection (mononucleosis) within 2-4 weeks, though fatigue may persist for several months. Once infected, the virus remains dormant in the body for life but rarely causes problems in healthy individuals. The virus can occasionally reactivate, especially in immunocompromised individuals.
