I kissed someone and am afraid of contracting herpes. the person did not have any cold sores on his lips. what are the chances i was exposed?

Depends: You will not contact if that ' some one ' did not have herpes , infected one even if did not have sores some times will shed virus and there is a slight chance of getting infected. Usually prolonged contacts are needed.
