Possible!: Viruses are easily transmitted by cough, touch, kiss, handshake etc. People with colds / flu need to be considerate of others!!!

I have herpes simplex virus (cold sores) since I was very little. Every time I give my kids a kiss on the cheek (I never kiss on the month) I usually get a cold sore half the time. No warning. How likely is it to get a cold sore on your cheek?
