see, I had a terrible cold about a week ago, and I gave it to my brother ( ), and now I have it again, could this possibly mean that the virus I have is evolving faster than regular?

my current symptoms make it seem like mono, but we're still not sure if it really is mono

That sucks 

Viruses don't evolve. Cold viruses may mutate their RNA to fool immunities.

My friend was thought to have mono a month ago, but it turned out he didn't

My friend was thought to have mono a month ago, but it turned out he didn't    that's why my brother got some blood tests

no, you don't understand, I was able to deal with the cold the first time I had it, because it was only a bad cold, now it seems more like mono...

I doubt it evolved that quickly.
If you were taking medication, it could have temporarily hid the symptoms...

nope, I hadn't taken and medications, I belive this might be a new virus...

Maybe you got to overjoyed at passing it to your brother that his sickness wanted revenge?

You probably didnt fully immunize, you just beat it off, for now.

I was fully immunized though, my brother was sick with the same sickness, didn't get it from him for about a week, and now it's back, and worse

My guess is that it is two different strains of cold. There are millions of different ones. You probably caught the first, and that weakened your immune system enough for you to catch another. But I am not a doctor, so we can't be sure.

I hope you get better. (I am surprised I am the first one to say that    )

possibly...

Uh, you're incorrect. Viruses do evolve. Where did you hear that they don't?

Biology. Viruses mutate if their RNA alters, but they don't evolve, because technically they aren't alive, and RNA mutations are instantaneous and not gradual.
