A member asked:
So my question is if somebody likes smooches you on the lips, but not french kisses do i need to be wording concerned about any sexual transmitted diseases?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The enzymes in saliva help reduce the transfer of some germs during smooching. It is not a common source of any STDs. Cold sores might pass in their active virus shedding phase, but some would not consider that a STD (it can be).
