You appear to be overly anxious about the possibility of one of your partners having a sexually transmitted disease. I think, before anything, realize that a good strong relationship is gonna require people to be open to each other; good communication is key! This means both of you should discuss any potential health risks which are sexually transmissible if the occasion arises. However, here are a few bits of info that will help you quiet down those anxious thoughts.

STD's are not just STD's; as most sexually transmitted diseases can be transmitted via a variety of bodily fluids, be they semen, blood, synovial fluid, etc. Of these, saliva is notorious for not harboring a significant viral presence in cases such as HIV, as well as the different hepatites.

Different types of hepatitis exist; although I wonder specifically why you're mainly concerned with these. Hepatitis A and hepatitis E are transmitted via the fecal-oral route, and are commonly self-limited, with the individual returning to fully normal function quickly. Hepatitis B more commonly IS A SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASE, as well as potentially transmitted via exposure to infected blood. HHepatitis C on the other hand is much less likely to be transmitted sexually, although it can certainly do so; Hepatitis C is usually transmitted via sharing of IV drug needles and is commonly associated with HIV. Hepatitis B is almost always self-limited, with individuals improving and clearing the virus relatively well and completely. The exceptions to this are newborns with Hepatitis B, as these will 90% of the time have hepatitis B for life.

Hepatitis C is more commonly chronic, leading to potential liver complications down the road. It sounds like your angel, if anything, in the worst case scenario would be afflicted with Hepatitis B; which would not be much of a concern via saliva; I say kiss all you want; but ask questions before sex, if that ever happens.

same as any STD and thru sharing of needles, etc. contact Planned Parenthood for more info. always use a condom.

i think so every one tells me never to drink after my mother because of it and i did and i dont have hepatitis

Usually Hepatitis is BLOODBORN not passed thru body fluids like HIV etc.

Hepatitis can be transmitted through body fluids,like blood,saliva,semen.So Hepatitis could be transmitted through kissing if the other person has a break in their skin.Hepatitis is more than likely passed on to another person through blood,semen,vaginal secretions than through kissing.

Hep A and Hep B - it's possible; Hep C - no (unless you both have bleeding in your mouth of some kind)
Hep A is not such a big deal - I had it when I was 6. Full recovery.
There is a vaccine for hep B.
Hep C is not STD, it's transmitted through blood. My BF has had hep C for ten years. We've been together for five years and we have a baby; the baby and I don't have hepatitis.
