Where is it?: I am assuming it is on your face. If so yes it should not be a problem but it is infected and kissing is likely out of the cards anyway.

Yes but...: If the sore is on your lips then you need to avoid all contact with your lips. So no kissing, no oral sex... https://www.emedicinehealth.com/oral_herpes/article_em.htm#oral_herpes_hsv-1_herpes_simplex_virus-1_facts
