Brief Answer:
Can't be determined.
Detailed Answer:
Welcome To HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.
This can't be determined whether you would catch a disease or not because all depends on whether your partner is carrying some disease or not.
You have not mentioned the trust status of your partner. In case you had sex with a person with doubt full status then you are very unlikely to catch any infection because you used condom.
As far as disease from kissing are concerned mostly they are benign ones and if you contract them can be treated easily.
There is no way out to know at this stage if you have got it.
So play safe in future and if you get any abnormal symptoms, see your doctor and write back to me.
I hope it helps you.
If you have any further query, please ask me.
