Well, that depends.
For example, some communicable diseases are highly transmitted, and others are less likely to be passed on. The common cold is highly communicable, and your likelihood of contracting it depends on your immunity level.
You should be able to tell if your subject has one of the more common illnesses if you're spending enough time with them - do they cough, sneeze, or sniffle? Do they look groggy or tired, maybe a little pale? Those are signs someone may be sick.
Also, keep in mind that you won't show any sickness for about three days after you become infected. For this reason, you should probably ask your friend or whomever you plan on kissing if they're sick.
You're not likely to get anything life-threatening from kissing someone, as long as you're not overdoing it. But then again, some people think that strep throat is nasty.
The kissing disease, as Mononucleosis is commonly known, is very contagious from kissing. People with mono don't show signs for up to 6 months after infection. Mono won't kill you, but you could get pretty sick.
Just be careful, and try to limit the amount of mouths you're kissing. Have fun!

I ask my girls for a certificate before I kiss them. It needs to be signed by their doctor (whom I will investigate and check to make sure they are bona fide) documenting a medical check up and various blood tests (which I can also check).
You DON'T know. It's called trust!
Many viruses can be transmitted from salivary exchange. Particularly EBV (Epstein Barr Virus) which causes Infectious Mononucleosis (kissing disease)
See the short list below:
Adenovirus, Coxsackie Virus, Cytomegalovirus, E Coli, Haemophilus Influenzae, Hepatitis Virus (A and B), Herpes Virus (HSV), Influenza virus (A,B,C), Neiserria Meningitidis, Parainfluenza virus, Parvovirus, Streptococcus
