Hi antivirals did help me and gave some relief from the reactivation of mono. It turned out to be Epstein Barr after many times requesting a blood test. My regular doctor an internist recommended them. I went to a very expensive infectious disease doctor and there is no cure only some treatment with antivirals. There r surgical treatments in Germany and Belgium where A famous female singer went and is now touring. The infectious disease doctor said just treat the symptoms as they come. A doctor from the national institute of health is working on some injections for prevention and different stages of Epstein Barr.
