Generally, kissing does not cause most of the STDs, however, some of STD"s like herpes and syphilis can be transmitted thru skin to skin contact, particularly if sore is present. Other, common STD which can be transmitted thru saliva, is CMV. This virus when enters in body, may life long in the body, but staying dormant (Inactive). It may be reactivated after a few weeks or even after a year or so. Also, it is one of the infections, which may cause swollen lymph nodes. Therefore, in my opinion, you should get yourself tested for CMV (Cytomegalo virus) to be sure that you are not suffering from it.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
