yes Disease transmission
Diseases which may be transmitted via kissing include mononucleosis and herpes, in which the infectious organism is present in saliva. Research indicates that contraction of HIV via kissing is extremely unlikely, however a woman has been infected with HIV by kissing in 1997; both the woman and infected man had gum disease (so transmission was through the man's blood, not saliva).[8]

yep
glandular fever
How do you catch it.?
Often the illness is caught from someone who has no symptoms. Often referred to as the "Kissing disease" it is usually brought on by close contact. 50% of people who are infected with the virus will develop symptoms, others can carry the virus not knowing they have it. Young children can become infected by saliva on toys or by using the same cups or utensils.
What are the symptoms.?
The symptoms of Glandular Fever are usually sore throat, fever and symptoms similar to tonsilitis with exudate (deposits of fluid) around the tonsils. Other symptoms are headache, nausea (especially when eating fatty or oily meals as the liver is affected by the infection), swollen glands in the throat, groin and under the arms. A lack of energy is usually prevalent and Glandular fever is one of the suggested causes of chronic fatigue syndrome.

Health Question & Answer
It can transmit disease if the kisser has an infectious disease that is spread by saliva. Even so, a kiss on the cheek or hand is unlikely to spread disease; it would have to be mouth to mouth kissing.
