Yes, it is entirely possible to get herpes from kissing.
Oral herpes is transmittable through contact with the saliva or the herpes blisters (cold sores) of an infected person. It is also possible, though less common, that herpes type 1 might spread to genital regions through oral sex. The virus is most easily spread through contact with open sores. But you also can get the virus from skin that does not appear to have a sore.
