Tested positive for Epstein-Barr; confused

1. Does this mean that I currently have EBV or that I had it earlier in life? If earlier in life, is the virus still in me or does the test below only show antibodies to the virus?

2. Does this mean I had mononucleosis at one point as well?

3. Is there anything I should be aware of in terms of complications or links to other diseases or conditions as a result of having/having had EBV? Thanks for your feedback.
