YES they can. Cold sores are caused by a contagious virus called oral herpes. They are commonly passed by kissing when some one has a cold sore an kisses some one that doesn't have them. It's also slightly possible to get cold sores by sharing utensils or drinks with some one that has a cold sore. It's safer to kiss and share food when some one doesn't have any signs of a cold sore.
