18yo with cold sores

Friends daughter went out on date last evening. Gave a kiss goodbye...closed mouth. Not long...just an extended peck. Started feeling itching about an hour or 2 after getting home.  Woke up with a cold sore on bottom lip. How likely is it that she spread it. She is a nervous wreck.

I understand and commend her for thinking of others. Seems rare these days.

The risk isn't zero but it's very low. So low she shouldn't be concerned.
