If you give a blow or physical contact with a cold sore, there is a risk of spreading the herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) to the other person, potentially causing them to develop their own cold sore. Additionally, if the person with the cold sore has an open sore, they could risk secondary infections or irritations. It's essential to avoid direct contact with a cold sore to reduce the risk of transmission. Always practice good hygiene and refrain from intimate contact when experiencing an outbreak.

How can you prevent somebody else from getting cold sore?

Cold sores are very contagious during a break out. If you have a visible cold sore then don't share things like utensils or cups when you have a break out. You also shouldn't be kissing any one (specially children) on or around the mouth until the cold sore has completely gone away. You should also know cold sores can also be spread during oral sex. If you give some one oral sex while you have a vsible cold sore you could pass it to your partner's genitals. It's safer to do those things in between break outs or when you have no signs or symptoms of a cold sore.
