Kissing disease: 20 F asks: What diseases/infections can be caught through kissing . What test to take to see if you have anything? ANS: too many to list but the ones to worry about would be HIV if kisser infected. There are perhaps 40 tests to see if you have anything that you got from kissing. But mostly no worries. Best to discuss with your Dr. in LA who will also know what is going around.
