Yes. I'd be worried about getting colds, with mono as a distant second. If the person in question had cold sores or open oral herpetic lesions, there would be a possibility. If he/she had active pulmonary tuberculosis in the infectious stages and we were deeply smooching, there's a potential risk.
I am NOT aware of any reputable studies that have confirmed transmission of HIV (the virus that causes AIDS) by kissing....but I suppose that, IF you're kissing someone who is HIV-positive AND who has open bloody sores in the mouth (say from a tooth extraction), AND you also have open bloody sores, AND you're swapping saliva....there might be enough blood-to-blood communication to pose a chance. Frankly, it seems like you're more likely to be hit by a car crossing the street. Let's figure relative risk here, folks....
I wouldn't go into any massive liplocks with anyone who's snorting and dribbling saliva and snot all over the place....and if I was immunocompromised (say, getting chemotherapy for cancer, I'd be cautious about who I kissed if my white count was down). But it's not the most dangerous thing in the world. Use common sense.

there have been studies where you can get hiv and aids from kissing soemone because of the saliva and if you have an std in your mouth(which is very possible to get) and kiss someone you can pass it to them
