If you kiss some one while they have a visible cold sore you have a very high chance of getting it. Oral herpes is highly contagious while there are any signs or symptoms of a break out.
If they don't have a cold sore when you kiss them then you only have a small chance of getting it.
There is a possibility of not getting it but your risk of contracting it is less likely when there isn't any signs or symptoms of a break out.
Even if you do end up getting oral herpes, it's not the end of the world and it's a very common infection. About 80 percent of the world has it, some people have it and don't even know it.
