If the other person has EVER had a cold sore then you are susceptible to getting them. Regardless if they have an outbreak or not the herpes virus is still active. If you have a cut in your mouth or on your lips or if your lips are dry you are more likely to get them.

It seems to say that HSV-2 is hardly spread to other parts of the body (as it says below). I know that HSV-I can travel from mouth to the penis or vagina and vice versa. For many years HSV 2 was believed to be a painful and dangerous infection that affects people with an "active sex life". Genital Herpes can infect anyone who has sex, even if only once. An estimated 22% of adults from varying backgrounds, income levels and ethnic groups have HSV 2. HSV 2 is often so mild that an estimated two thirds of those infected don't even realize they have it. Type 2rarely causes complications and more rarely spreads to other parts of the body outside of the risk of autoinoculation that most often occurs during the primary episode.
I got the above paragraph from: http://herpesonline.org/hsv1vs2.html but this site had misc info: http://www.suite101.com/reference/herpes_simplex_virus_2 ...just DON'T BELIEVE THE JUNK ABOUT THE ABILITY TO CURE IT! ~Peace~
Yes, oral herpes can be transmitted by kissing.
there are trace amounts of the disease in your saliva but not enought to pass it on through kissing.
Contact with the virus is made with your mouth.

∙ 10y agoA cold sore may be caused by type 1 or type 2 herpes simplex virus (HSV). The virus is contagious while the herpes sores (cold sores) are present, and during the time just before the sores show up. Skin to skin contact can transmit the virus, so if someone with a cold sore kisses your lips, you can get the cold sore virus, and if they kiss you somewhere else, you may get herpes sores in that other location.

How do you get rid of a coldsores?
You use Abreva. It is the only cold sore medicine that i would recommend. It works extremely fast and you could have it gone in less than a week. If your cold sore has not even already started and you feel a tingling sensation on your lip, you are most likely to get a cold sore in the next few hours. The best thing to do then is to use Abreva and/or put cold ice onto your lip. I hope that helps. (:
