Can you get stds from kissing?

Answer 1

Yes.. you sure can exspecially if you are swapping saliva.. be careful

Answer 2

First off, you CANNOT get HIV from kissing. (The only possible way is if the infected person had open and bleeding sores in their mouth and when you kissed and had cuts or open sores in your mouth - thats possible, really low but possible). For you to get HIV from kissing with saliva people, YOU HAVE TO HAVE DRANK ABOUT 2 GALLONS OF THE INFECTED PERSON'S SALIVA. Stop with the stereo-typical crap.

Second, You can get HSV-1 (oral herpes) more so when they are having an outbreak or during peak shedding (which happens as the outbreak of sores heals). It is possible to get HSV-1 even without an outbreak but the risk is smaller. About 50%-80% of people have had exposure to HSV-1, so it is very common.

Third, yes - Mono is something you can catch through kissing, also known as the "kissing disease" - around 90% of people will acquire it even if you have no symptoms. It's common too. You can go here for more information:

Now, infections like Chlamydia and Gonorrhea would be EXTREMELY difficult to get through kissing.
1) Chlamydia rarely infects the throat - yes, there have been a FEW cases of it but it's rare and hard to get in the throat.
2) Gonorrhea can infect the throat - and I mean THE THROAT. Not the mouth. You would have to literally have your tongue shoved to the back of their throat (like where the tonsils are) to possibly catch Gonorrhea if they have it in the first place.

Answer 3

The simple answer is yes. It's possible to catch herpes just from kissing someone on the mouth. The herpes virus can be spread not only through kissing, but also through sharing utensils and cups. The tricky thing about herpes is that the signs are not always visible. Herpes is often dormant, and a person can pass it along without ever showing any signs of having it. Diseases that are not STDs, like mono, the common cold, stomach bugs, and strep throat, also can be passed through saliva.

STDs can be transmitted through all types of sex, including oral sex. So, although mouth-to-mouth kissing can only pass herpes, mouth-to-genital contact can spread many STDs, including HIV. Try this web site
