Cold sores are often passed by being kissed or kissing some one that as a cold sore. They are commonly passed that way during child hood, they are rarely passed to the mouth during sex. There is also a small chance of getting a cold sore if you share utesils or drinks with some one that has a cold sore.

Cold sores are commonly passed by kissing some one or being kissed by some one that has a cold sore. There is also a small chance of contracting them through sharing utensils or drinks with some one that has a cold sore. Cold sores can also be passed from some ones mouth to their partners genitals if they give their partner oral sex while they have a cold sore.

While there isn't any signs of a break out cold sores are less likely to be passed on.
