Accepted Answer

STD: French kissing is generally safe except perhaps for herpes simplex and potentially chlamydia.

Question 2

can hiv or stds be transferred by kissing?

Accepted Answer

Kissing disease: You can transmit the kissing disease better known as mononucleosis. You can also trasmit HIV only if both partners have cuts in their mouth and there is exchange of blood or infected fluids from bleeding gums or sores. Closed mouth kissing is fine.

Question 3

can you get std from kissing a drug user and multiple partners? i dont know his status of std

Accepted Answer

Unlikely/ possible: It is hard to say never when it applies to anything medical. There are some STD's that have a remote chance of spreading through oral contact. The saliva has antibacterial properties that help reduce risk, but there a few disease I can think of that could pass that way.

Question 4

what stds can be transferred by kissing and hickeys? made out with stranger at party and freaked out about it.

Accepted Answer

Mononucleosis: You can get mononucleosis from kissing an individual who is infected. Oral herpes is another possibility.

Question 5

it is likely or posible to catch a std from french kissing,was only like 2seconds. and if it yes,what kind of std? please help

Accepted Answer

Std: Yes. If you both had open cuts in your mouth, blood born viruses such as hiv and hepatitis c could be transferred. Unlikely but possible. Also, technically the common cold sore is a herpes virus which can then be transferred through oral sex to cause genital lesions. Moral of the story is be cautious with whom you share bodily fluids

Question 6

could you get stds just from kissing?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Several STDs: Can be transmitted that way: herpes, syphilis (if chancre on lip/mouth), gonorrhea (if after oral sex), hpv (after oral sex). If there are no std lesions/bacteria/viruses on lips or in mouth, then simple kissing can't transmit them.

Question 7

can you get a std from kissing?

Accepted Answer

Possibly not usually: You could get herpes from kissing or chalymydia or gonorrhea in the mouth or rarely HIV if yoiur partner was HIV + and you had a open cut or sore, so make sure you know where your partner has been before you do anything with him or her ?

Question 8

can you get stds from kissing or making out?

Accepted Answer

STDs: That depends upon what and where you are kissing and what "making out" means. Need more info to give you reassurance, but if just kissing on lips and finger massaging of genitals it is not likely to transmit stds.

Question 9

which type of stds can you get from giving head and kissing?

Accepted Answer

Most of them: Most of them can be obtained from these activities, to certain percentages.

Question 10

how can you catch an std from someone you haven't even kissed?

Accepted Answer

Skin to skin contact: Certian stds, such as herpes and hpv, can be transmitted through skin to skin contact.  Therefore, sex is not required to transmit these infections.
