Yes it can. Cold sores have been forming on me since I was a child. My mother gets them, my grandmother....You could say that I got it because my mother touched me when she had a cold sore or whatever. But I don't believe I can give cold sores to people that aren't infected with the virus. My father never got infected or at least the symptoms don't show in men. It seems that it's only the women that get them in my family.
