Emilie agony auntHey honey,

Getting an STD from kissing is not all that common but only certain sexually transmitted diseases can be transmitted through kissing if the STD can manifest itself orally and/or in oral fluids. Herpes or cold sores can be transmitted to another person, most likely when there are active sores.

Hepatitis B virus is found in semen, saliva, blood and mucous, so it is possible to transmit HBV through kissing (unless you've been vaccinated against Hepatitis B).

Other STDs that are less likely to be transmitted through kissing are HPV (warts) and syphilis.

But i doubt you will get anything other than a bad cold sore!

Unless the guy you kissed didnt have them :) if he has never had a cold sore then you will be fine :) but if you do happen to come across a cold sore its easily treated just go to one of your parents and ask them to get you some anti coldsore lip balm. It will take a couple of weeks but it would clear up and is not life threaterning!

Hope this has helped!

Best wishes, Good luck! ps. keep me posted and if you ever have any questions email me through dear cupid! i will always reply :) xxx
