I: would look for something as the cause of the problem. HSV is unlikely to be the culprit. What are all the symptoms?

Partner and I both have HSV1. Is it ok to kiss if we have symptoms? Will it transfer to genitals if we have oral sex? Could it transfer to other places if I have a sore and kiss them on the cheek, hand, etc.? Thanks in advance?
