Some patients can remain contagious for weeks after symptoms first present. If symptoms has resolved, it is important to maintain good hygiene I.e. hand washing and avoid transferring of body fluid such as saliva. However, given that you were diagnosed nearly 8 months ago, as long as you are symptom free you should be far past the contagious stage.
