A member asked:
Can you tell me if i could get a disease from kissing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Infectious mono, the common cold, syphilis, gonorrhea, CMV, fever blisters, coxsackievirus. This being said, in my humble opinion, kissing somebody who's special for you is undeniably and unquestionably worth the risk. Best wishes.
