The chances of getting seriously ill from mouth to mouth must be pretty slim or people would never have done it, and there would be snogging teenagers filling every hospital bed. We just don't value life unless it's our own nowadays.
It's more to do with the fact a lot of people can't do mouth to mouth properly (don't actually get air into lungs cause they haven't made the proper seal) and spend too much time focussing on it when really they should just do compressions.
