Mono Reactivation After 5 Years

Hey everyone, so here is the story. i got mono back in 2019. it was horrible. but about two weeks ago i got a really sore throat just on one side. i went to the doctor and came out with negative strep, negative covid, negative flu tests. I did a blood test later and was 750 u/mL on the epstien-barr antibody test. it feels like someone strangled me, but only on one side and it comes and goes. last week i felt better, but i woke up today back at ground zero. the doctor said to just wait it out and rest. BUT HERES THE CATCH: i just started dating someone new. i don't want them to get sick bc mono sucks and i wouldn't wish it on my worst energy, let alone someone i like. i asked my doctor if i was contagious since it a reactivation not a new infection and she hasn't gotten back to me about it. any advice?
