I thought this was an important topic to bring up, so that someone doesn't get screwed over.

How do you know if a girl has a disease/sickness that can be transimitted through saliva (you kissing her)? Is there any physical symptoms that you would be able to notice on them if they had something like AIDS/HIV's/STD's

There is one disease "popular" around here.. WE call it the kissing disease.
I think this might be the worst.

I don't know the english name, but it's a disease that can make you very tired.. You can get a injection for it, so u get immune to it. If you're scared, get one of those.. In Belgium it's a frequent disease !

And further .. if she doesn't have big bubbles on her lips , I'd just go in for the kiss

& AIDS / HIV cannot be transmitted by kissing. Only if the two of you have wounds in those lips and those wounds touch and the girl in question has SIDA and the SIDA passes. Don't worry about that or you'll become psycho.

You're thinking of Mono, aka Mononucleosis(sp). Its one of the few things that can be passed through saliva. Anything that can be passed through saliva will generally make them look somewhat sick though from my experience. You don't get a lot of things that pass that easily and hide that well. Look at her skin tone, her eyelids, her lips, etc. If she looks sick, don't kiss her.

There is no way of being able to tell, unless she has a virus of something.
The most common one that can be transmitted this way, is hepatitis (spelt wrong). Luckely i dont think its that common, and it is'nt deadly, you would be unlucky to get it. But if you go round kissing slags in their late twenties it would increase your chances of getting it.
I might do some research on it myself, its something i am quite paranoid about.

Hepatitis A: is a liver disease caused by the hepatitis A virus (HAV). Hepatitis A can affect anyone. In the United States, hepatitis A can occur in situations ranging from isolated cases of disease to widespread epidemics.
Hepatitis B: is a serious disease caused by a virus that attacks the liver. The virus, which is called hepatitis B virus (HBV), can cause lifelong infection, cirrhosis (scarring) of the liver, liver cancer, liver failure, and death.
Hepatitis C: is a liver disease caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV), which is found in the blood of persons who have the disease. HCV is spread by contact with the blood of an infected person.

Hepatitis D: is a liver disease caused by the hepatitis D virus (HDV), a defective virus that needs the hepatitis B virus to exist. Hepatitis D virus (HDV) is found in the blood of persons infected with the virus.
Hepatitis E: is a liver disease caused by the hepatitis E virus (HEV) transmitted in much the same way as hepatitis A virus. Hepatitis E, however, does not occur often in the United States.

To add to that: You cannot tell if someone has a disease unless breaks in skin or lesions are nticeable with concerning the AIDS/HIV virus.

YOu can aquire this disease if there are breaks, cuts, whatever in a persons mouth. NO doubt about this. You run a risk of kissing anyone anymore bc mostly people get this disease first sexually then medically. Alot of ppl dont realize that this isnt just a "gay" disease but for heterosexuals as well.

The most healthy looking people can be sick, not just the ones that look sickly. That is fact. Where protection too, it saves lives.thats a fact.

For sex, condom, simple.

But for kissing , you can transmit diseases, since there are no condoms. But so what. I think the chance is very small. I wouldn't investigate a girl's lips before kissing here, would you guys?
Would make me paranoid !
Like watching the ceiling the whole time if there aren't any bricks lose that may fall on your head and kill you.
Hey, I just looked at the ceiling, help !

I myself always worry about pfeifers disease. It's transmitted via saliva and makes you very tired for a month or 2-3, but thats about all it does. However this would just suck to have because you have to cancel so many every day things and ''take it easy''.

This is a pretty common disease.

I'm more scared of the kissing diseases then the STD's

You should really be careful who you're kissing anyway. In one of my more successful excursions of late, I set a goal to kiss 26 girls in a weekend (it was my birthday, and I turned 26). I got to 24, and filled the rest in over the course of the week. And then I got this insanely nasty cold that I'm sure was terrorist in origin. It wasn't bad enough to kill me, but it was bad enough to make me wish it would. I can only imagine how many people I gave that to... Poor girls...

So I guess what I'm trying to say is "don't be a slut." ^_^

You can get much useful information about liver health and share your experiences there. Welcome to visit http://www.liver-health.info/, http://english.kenkyusho.com/

As an administrator of liver health forum, I would like to help more people to get rid of liver disease. If you have any question about liver health, pls feel free to contact with us. Our email is kyotsujigyo@yahoo.cn.

In all cases and many other liver hindering diseases, you can often see whats called "jaundice" or yellow tinting of the skin. Its pretty noticable and may remind you of a character off The Simpsons.
WTF!? Dude, STDs are transmitted thru kissing as well, and can be permanent. Herpes aint a joke and I imagine it has durastic insidious effects on your social life. And another thing, herpes, along with many other STDs can be dormant naturally or from medicine. You wont even see shit all over her lips and is still transmittable. Scary.

This reminds me of this of the one time I was at a club making eye contact with a HB; as I walk over to her I notice this rash like shit on her upper lip.

I never walked away from anything as fast as I did that night.

haha, wow.

Worst thing I've caught is Strep Throat... but it was totally worth it because I caught it during a threesome with 2 HB's. I just thought it was a cold or mono at first, because I had a sore throat. I got concerned when it lasted for over a week with no improvement.

What REALLY sucks is I caught it right before leaving the US for a vacation in Rio de Janeiro. The whole time I was there, I was afraid to kiss any girls (and omg, there are so many beautiful women over there!) because I didn't want to give anyone what I had. When I got back to the states, I promptly went to the doctor and got some antibiotics, and got better in no time.

So, be careful!
