Brief Answer:
No risk for STDs
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
You are concerned about contracting an STD from saliva. There is no STD that you can get from transferring saliva. If there was kissing and the person had a cold sore you could possibly get herpes infection but that is really the only type of STD possible with saliva. So from your description you have no risk for STDs
