OK this is kind of an awkward thing for me, but I'm really confused. I have a boyfriend who was with a girl a while ago, I believe it was the beginning of last year. I think she has a sexually transmitted disease. If he got it and it's on his penis, and all we have done is kiss, could I get it too? Just by kissing him?:confused:

Yes. Although kissing is considered a lower-risk kind of sexual act when compared to sexual intercourse and oral sex, it can transmit CMV, hepatitis B, herpes, and syphilis. CMV and hepatitis B can be present in saliva, and herpes and syphilis can be transmitted through skin-to-skin contact, particularly at times when sores are present.

I got this from a website called http://eu.staying-alive.org/stayinga...red/getArticle

It has got loads on it if you want to read up on it.

Hope this helps

Sexually transmitted disease, there are 100's of kinds and types. First not all are "just on" but will get into the blood stream and cause all sorts of health problems. So if he "has or had" he needed to get medical treatment since many today first can not even be cured, others can be if treated properly and many will even cause death down the road.

So you need to know what type and kind he has for us to give you a proper answer
