You would have to make sure that you were not in the active phase anymore. So you would need to take a blood test for EBV IgM and IgG to make sure that you no longer had any IgM (an indicator of activity). Someone else said 6 months, but it is possible you could still be in the active phase for more than 6 months so a blood test would need to be done to confirm you’re in the convalescent phase. As long as you have no IgM you should be fine to give blood.
Good luck!

According to the Health Library of CNN you have to wait 6 months, but after that, you can!
