Yes. A person can contract herpes simplex virus 1 or 2 by kissing someone who has cold sores.
Cold sores are usually caused by herpes simplex virus 1, while genital herpes is usually caused by herpes simplex virus 2. But, both cold sores and genital herpes can be caused by either herpes simplex virus 1 or 2.

There are two types of herpes simplex virus: HSV-1 and HSV-2. Both virus types can cause sores around the mouth (herpes labialis) and on the genitals (genital herpes). Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV).
Cold sores sometimes called fever blisters, are groups of small blisters on the lip and around the mouth. The skin around the blisters is often red, swollen, and sore. The blisters may break open, leak a clear fluid, and then scab over after a few days. They usually heal in several days to 2 weeks.
The herpes simplex virus usually enters the body through a break in the skin around or inside the mouth. It is usually spread when a person touches a cold sore or touches infected fluid—such as from sharing eating utensils or razors, kissing an infected person, or touching that person's saliva. A parent who has a cold sore often spreads the infection to his or her child in this way. Cold sores can also be spread to other areas of the body.

Type 2 herpes is genital herpes. That means you will experience outbreaks in your genital area. Herpes is spread from skin to skin contact, so if you are having an outbreak and are intimate with someone, yes you can pass it. As far as sharing drinks and touching someone, no. Make sure you wash your hands if you are having an outbreak and do not touch the sores, as you can also spread it to other parts of your own body this way. Go on-line and search genital herpes and there are some very informative web sites out there. Also, you need to speak with your doctor and get as much info. as possible to better protect yourself and others.

Type 2 herpes is also known as kissing disease. a child can get it from his/her mother by a kiss from mom. about 85 percent of population has it. it comes out during stress or lots of sunshine. it is a virus that lives in nerves. If you ever had a cold sore, that means you already have herpes type 2.

My best friend has had genital herpes for about eight months now, and it's been really rough. She's had about 7 outbreaks. Everywhere I read it says it stops flaring up so much after time, but its not getting less frequent for her. She's been on Antiviral meds the whole time, too. She also has type 1 diabetes which she has had her whole life, which really weakens her immune system. Will it ever get better?
But after a friend share this video everything has changed.

A cold sore or type 2 herpes can be passed by kissing - why would you want to kiss someone with a nasty bump on his lip? It's obvious he's having an outbreak. Protect yourself! Good luck!
