Herpes on the lips is not deadly. It is a benign, self-limited condition commonly known as cold sores or fever blisters. 80% of adults are infected with herpes around the mouth.

There is no cure for herpes of the lips because the virus that causes it, herpes simplex virus (HSV), remains in the body after the initial infection. The virus can become dormant and reactivate, resulting in recurring outbreaks. While antiviral medications can help manage symptoms and reduce the frequency of outbreaks, they cannot completely eliminate the virus from the body.

He needs to have a blood test to determine. If you were "only kissing", and you have herpes, then it is very possible that the virus was transfered to him. "Burning lips" does not constitute a diagnosis of herpes though. There are other symptoms associated with the virus such as blisters. Go to a doctor, get tested.

What could it be if you have small red bumps covering both lips and they are not blisters but started out in one spot and quickly spread to cover both lips?

This could be herpes simplex .... a cold sore. Try Zovirax and chat to your pharmacist. He/she ought to be able to diagnose whether it is a cold sore. The fact that it is spreading sounds to me like the herpes virus.
