A person can only give some one HSV2 if they have HSV2 to begin with. HSV1 doesn't turn into HSV2 but HSV1 can be passed to the genitals.

If they only have HSV1 they can still pass it on by kissing while they have a cold sore. They can also pass HSV1 to their partners genitals if they give oral sex while they have any signs of a cold sore or fever blister.

Any type of herpes that occurs on the genitals usually gets called 'genital herpes'.

Are cold sores cause by bacteria or virus?

Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus. No doubt you've heard of "herpes" before, but don't jump ahead of yourself.

Herpes simplex virus type 1 ("HSV1") generally only infects those body tissues that lie "above the waistline" and it is HSV1 that causes cold sores in the majority of cases. Type 2 herpes simplex virus. Herpes simplex virus type 2 ("HSV2") usually only infects those body tissues that lie "below the waistline" and it is this virus that is also known as "genital herpes." Herpes simplex virus type 2 is not usually the virus that causes cold sores, although it can.
