A friend of mines boyfriend has very severe acne. She is afraid to kiss him at times because of this. I really didn't know the answer because the skin has opened pores and since it is a skin infection it sorta makes sense that this could happen.

If you’re looking for accurate acne information, best to see a dermatologist. Some people believe doctors are predisposed to take the easy way to deal with acne… prescription drugs. But, with many, this simplistic answer may not be the appropriate course of action. Some feel that such prescription drugs just treat the symposium and not the underlying cause. But, a local dermatologist is still your best starting point.
For me personally, I discovered a great informational acne treatment site. Not only is there good information/articles but I got their audio e-book and following it’s advice can now say that my acne is a thing of the past! Keep in mind, were all different and there are various types of acne, so what works for some may not be totally effective for all.
Bottom line, hang in there, you will get past this! Sincere best wishes and good luck.
Oh, by the way the site that helped me is:

RE:
Is severe acne contagious? If leaking acne gets on your face from someone else can it get passed to you?

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.
The secret is never to touch the spots

EW THAT SOUNDS DISGUSTING. Why would you be so close to someone who had acne that leaks for it to even get on your face? But no, this isn't possible because acne is caused when bacteria builds up under your skin. Your immune system immediately attacks the bacteria, because that's what it's trained to do. All the white pus is the build up of your white cells trying to protect you from the bacteria. If someone has severe acne that just means they have a lot of bacteria on their face. I don't think its possible to have contageous acne though.

The white stuff that leaks from your acne is usually just puss... unless it is some other kind of lesion that is NOT acne. If you are very concerned about it, you should contact your medical professional.
or you can check this site out... it has some helpful tips on clearing acne: http://www.acne.org/

No because acne is caused in your skin and it is not a virus that can be passed around. It would just be gross to get that on someone else.

Not Acne itself, But the bactria in acne might. Just wash it off you should be fine.
