herpes for sure and i know of others. it depends on if the giver had any open wounds or lesions and a few other factors. maybe you should go be tested?

Do you have any symptoms? If not there's really nothing to worry about.



Slight chance of ghonnorea but the risk is really too low to worry about.



Slight chance of HSV-1 but there's a 50% you have this virus anyway (coldsores) and unless you have any sores or blisters, again not worth worrying about.



Slight chance of non-specific urethritis caused by bacteria that occurs in the mouth naturally - again



The bottom line is that unless you have symptoms there's really nothing to worry about.
