If what you are experiencing are true cold sores (oral herpes outbreaks), then yes, you may be able to transmit HSV in the 24 hours before onset. However, kissing does not trigger herpes outbreaks. Study up on typical symptoms and ideally see a doctor, if not done previously, to confirm the diagnosis. Half of all people have HSV1; partners who previously have HSV1 are immune to new infection.
