Ivan: Hello! I am Ivan from Dayton, Ohio. Can someone get an STD from kissing?
Lisa Flowers: It is possible but not common. Herpes Type 1 is the most common STD that can actually be passed by kissing. And it is most commonly known as Cold Sores or Fever Blisters.
Whenever someone has a Fever Blister or Cold Sore, it's important not to engage in direct kissing or in any sexual acts that involve oral intercourse because it can pass the Herpes virus to the genitals, or to the other individual if they are kissing them.
So very important, if you have a Cold Sore or a Fever Blister, try to avoid kissing your partner directly or performing oral sex.
