Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
Yes, you can catch herpes just from kissing someone on the mouth. And you may get HIV if you have any cuts or sores in the mouth and has a chance of infection during open-mouthed kissing.
Even when you don't see any signs of an STD, an infected person can pass the infection along.
Painful blisters over and around the lips, red and white patches in the oral mucosa.
But you have to undergo examination to find out the sores and history of exposure is very important.
Thank you.
