Help

Yes, you can catch certain diseases from kissing. What kind of thing did you hear he might have?
-
He used to be on drugs years ago so i dont know what he could have.
-
Drugs by themselves don't give people infectious diseases, but they can pick them up by sharing needles or by poor hygiene.Apart from minor illnesses like colds, two diseases often spread by kissing are cold sores and mononucleosis.
-
Can i pass that on to my boyfriend
-
Yes, they can be passed on either way. Cold sores aren't very infectious all the time, but they are very infectious when there is an outbreak, or just before (and sometimes at other times). Mono is infectious while you have it.

Is there a test i can take at the doctors even though i havent got an outbreak just to be on the safe side.
