Treatment of EBV primary infection in adult age ?

My extensive studies to find a pathogen for my CFS-like condition revealed that I'm not infected with EBV yet (all antibodies - including IgG - negative).

Is there consensus or expert opinion what should be done if I develop EBV primary infection in the future? Just wait and see? This seems very risky to me if I take in account that even healthy adults often have serious EBV primary infections with long term or permanent damage.

My best guess would be taking high dose Valaciclovir. Any comments on that ?
