Okay** Before you continue reading, note that this is for mature people preffarably over the age of 20.
I know that the main and most common way to contract STD's is by sexual intercourse, but I've been taught that you can also contract an STD like AIDS by making out. I've never REALLY made-out before, and I am scared when I find that special guy, he'll have experience and might be infected.
So is it true you can get an STD by making out? (if there is a cut in my or his mouth and he is infected) ??

Theoretically yeah it is *possible.*
HOWEVER
Hepatitis B is like 60 x's more infective than HIV. So I would be more worried about that than AIDs. Anytime you come in contact with a stranger's body fluids you run the risk of catching something from them... be it a cold or be it Syphilis. You can get Chylamydia from a toilet seat at a McDonald's, you can get scabies from sitting next to some one with them, you can get crabs from trying on clothes at the mall.
Just be careful and be ballsy enough to ask him where he has been. And as a general rule of thumb don't make out with total strangers.

Kissing is fairly safe, but you do have some risk
like what a few other people have said, herpes can be passed through kissing. about 70% of the US has oral herpes and most got it trhough kissing. Even an innocent pop kiss from mother to child will give a child a life sentence. But its not the end of the world
If you do have it, just dont be too active with the oral sex, and its relatively manageable with the right meds. Even over the counter Abreva does a good job suppressing oral Herpes
HIV is almost impossible to get while kissing. there has been no recorded cases of this occurring
Syphilis is actually highly contagious during stage two and can be spread through kissing. You would probably know if someone is at stage two because they could have blisters in the back of their mouth and sores all over their genitals and possibly lesions on their skin. Stage two isnt too common because in the US early intervention is often taken before that occurs
What I'm trying to get to is that you might get an STD, but if your not a wild woman and doing wild and crazy things, you'll probably get hit by lightning before that happens. So your probably clean.
If you have cold sores from kissing, well, you've joined the 70+ percent that also have it.

particular there is. The vaccine purely prevents helps to avert the lines of HPV that reason cervical maximum cancers in women. so possible finally end up getting different varieties of HPV. possible get different stds whether you have the shot. The shot purely protects against particular lines of HPV no longer all stds. How do you already know for helpful that your boy chum is a virgin. If he has ever had oral intercourse or any style of sexual touch then he's no longer a lot of a virgin from now on. adult males can lie approximately that style of element to get intercourse. if your boy chum has had any style of sexual touch till now then he could desire to probably have an std. in case you going to have intercourse then get some condoms and use them. that could desire to shrink your threat of having stds.

you can't get AIDS from kissing but you can get other STD's like the herpes virus if your partner has a cold sore and you kiss them etc.

yes you can catch some std's by kissing, like herpes, if he has an open cold sore on his mouth...but most of them are not transferred by just kissing
