Say you have a cold sore and kiss someones cheek would they get on their cheek?

It is possible to transmit the herpes simplex virus (HSV), which causes cold sores, to someone else through direct contact, such as kissing. However, the risk of transmission is relatively low, and it is important to note that not everyone who is exposed to HSV will develop a cold sore.

If someone has an active cold sore, it is important to avoid kissing or other forms of direct contact with them to reduce the risk of transmission.
