I get cold sores. if i make out with someone when a cold sore is not present on my lips, what are the chances the person i kiss will get a cold sore?

Amost: ZERO.....but remember you must be aware of the early symptoms (tingling etc) just before the lesions break out to be completely sure you don't infect your partner! Hope this is helpful Dr Z
