No, he can end up getting a cold sore too. Cold sores are also known as herpes 1. People don't want to get that so don't kiss him.
Even if it hasn't opened yet, if it's still just a bump on your mouth, still don't kiss him.

No, you can not kiss when having a cold sore. Another name for cold sore is Herpes 1. Estimates are that 70% of people, even children and teens have it.
Please educate yourself on it by reading some sites that discuss it.

According to these and other sites I looked at to be sure of the latest info on it, they still say it is contagious at the early stage of just a tingling sensation, before the sore develops.
Learn to pay attention to the signs from your mouth and when you even start to feel a tingling sensation from a particular area, refrain from any kissing or any contact of your lips on any other part of the body. I remember my mom getting cold sores when I was a kid but she refrained from kissing then cus it was painful.
Now we know more about it and must not kiss even earlier in its stages. My husband of 4 years has the cold sore/herpes 1. When he feels the first tingle, he warns me and we refrain from kissing until it has gone thru its cycle and is totally healed.
Yeah, I know its a bummer. And when I know I can't kiss the husband, I want to kiss all the more. But I certainly don't want to catch the virus.
