as an adult, social pecks on the cheek aren't likely to transmit the virus. even them having an obvious cold sore doesn't really increase your risk.
Even if they have a visible cold sore? I have a beard too by they way. I don't know if that would make it easier or harder to become infected. I thought my beard might make it easier for the virus to be extracted from the infected person if they have a visible sore.
Hi and no its not likely
