can you get herpes in the mouth even when they dont have a cold sore?

There are times where he could be shedding the virus and there may not be signs so you could get it. you may want to think about if this guy is really worth risking you getting HSV-2 for....If you all ready have herpes on your mouth then you're unlikely to get herpes again. If it's on the inside of his mouth then chances are it could be just canker sores which are not contagious. If the herpes is on the mouth then it usually gets called "oral herpes".
If it's on the out side of the mouth like a cold sore then those are usually caused by oral herpes, genital herpes (HSV2) rarely causes herpes on the mouth.
Yes you can kiss him just don't kiss him when he has any signs of a cold sore. Another thing don't let him give you oral sex when he has a break out on the mouth. Oral herpes can be passed to the genitals if oral sex is given while he has a break out of herpes on the mouth. It's safer to kiss and have oral sex when he doesn't have any signs of a break out on his mouth.
