Kissing can transmit herpes but that is not considered a STD.

Hi can i give an STD to someone by hugging, touching, kissing when i dont any symptoms (sores on mouth etc).
I have heard ( from Dr Tan) that you can get Herpes and syphillis  from kissing. I can pass it on if I dont have any symptoms or when symptons are genital not oral.
