sounds like you need info in general on oral herpes. http://www.ashastd.org/herpes/herpes_learn_oralherpes.cfm is a terrific link with the info you are looking for.
have you ever been tested for herpes to know your own status?
genital herpes won't be transmitted through kissing someone, only oral herpes can be.

my question is can herpes be transmitted if there was no active blisters?
are you the original poster?
no but i'm hsv-1 postive and never had a cold sore before so wondering how did i get it and if it's possible that i can trasmit it to someone else even if i dont have symptoms
