Q: What STDs can be transmitted through kissing? Is it possible to detect signs of STD on another person’s lips and mouth?
A: Kissing is wonderful and exciting. It’s also a fairly easy way to transmit a respiratory infection (like a cold) and a few other conditions. The reality is that mouth-to-mouth contact is an efficient way to spread illness.
Oral herpes (usually called cold sores or fever blisters) is caused by a viral infection. The virus is called Herpes Simplex and infections may occur once or return again and again. Herpes Simplex cold sores generally start with itchiness and tingling, followed by blisters which burst to leave open sores. These sores crust over and eventually heal after a few days. Scars rarely form.
Herpes can be a recurring and upsetting disease but is rarely dangerous compared to other STDs. Although there is not a cure for herpes, appropriate treatment is effective in helping to control the disease.
Herpes infections are very common. About 80-90% of American adults have oral herpes. Many people catch the virus in childhood through parents or family members giving the types of affectionate kisses common during early childhood. The virus may also be acquired by sharing toothbrushes or utensils. Many people carry the virus and don’t even know it.
To lower your risk when kissing, do a quick visual “inspection” of the other person’s lips. Most cold sores are fairly obvious. Ask your partner about any blisters you see. The surest way to avoid herpes during a partner’s outbreak is to avoid mouth-to-mouth contact and oral-genital contact, too. Herpes can be spread from the mouth to the genitals, causing genital herpes. For more information, check out the website below:

How about Herpes and more dangerous than Aids, Hepatitis C. The last disease which can be deathly is easily transmitted by way of spittle. I never believed that these kissing booths existed, but I suppose from what you say that they do. Who on earth would want to kiss a girl who has been kissed by numerous other men earlier.

You can but STDs are transmitted by exchange of body fluids so a closed mouth kiss or a kiss on the cheek should be safe.

In our little fishing village, we don't kiss Rosie, cuz, she has some bad habits about chewing tobacco, and going down on hobo's... and we really don't know who all we'd be akissing!
But, Rosie does have a mighty fine boat and truck rig, that she saved up for, from doing all them bj's on them truckers down to the big ole' hiway!
So, most of us have very mixed feelings, like when our hounds tree a bear, and we know we gonna lose some hounds, but, we'll be eating bear for months!

sure, why not. Most health related situations like that have already been eliminated in the USA, but there are a few still unknowing people who set up the booths.
