Cold Sore

Hi. Well i made out with this guy and i was pretty drunk. The next day i noticed what looked like a pimple right on his lip line. there was no puss yet formed and it was realllly small. I think it could have been a cold sore. I have not had any symptoms, neither have a had a cold sore. Is it possible that you could kiss someone with a cold sore and not get the herpes virus. I know its contagious at all times... but isn't it most contagious during the weezing stage when it explodes and crusts over. What are my chances of getting it ??

6 out of 10 if you are under 50 have hsv1.

if you are sexually active, you should be aware of your herpes status - both hsv1 and hsv2.

no i've never been tested. I've never had a cold sore. My dad gets cold sores... like once a yr. Is it true 8/10 americans have herpes ?? and also, who do u form antibodies to herpes ??? im surprised i've never gotten a cold sore...especially since my dad gets em, but its not a bad strain. he gets it in the same place adjacent to his lowe lip, and sometimes under his nostril.
