I recently kissed a girl and my tongue and lip felt tingly and cut. Is this herpes/cold sore?What should i do?
the kiss took 1 second and was a peck. What should I do? There is also itching on other parts of the body. Can this spread to my body parts?
do I have to take any extra precautions when cold sores are present?

It could be herpes. Most people get herpes by having sex or direct skin to skin contact with someone who is has cold sores or blisters present. When the sores are present, it means that herpes simplex virus is active. Sometimes a person can have a herpes outbreak and have no visible sores at all. People usually get herpes by having sexual contact with others who don’t know they are infected or who are having outbreaks of herpes without any sores. A person with genital herpes also can infect a sexual partner during oral sex. The virus is usually not spread by touching objects such as a toilet seat or hot tub.
Herpes is not spread through the air. It is spread by direct contact to the site of infection. If you have a cold sore and you kiss someone, you will transfer the virus to their mouth. If you have a cold sore and you have anal or vaginal intercourse, you will give your partner genital herpes.
If you are infected by herpes simplex virus 1 and/or herpes simplex virus 2, you will probably have symptoms or outbreaks again. The herpes virus never dies. It merely falls asleep (dormant) like "Sleeping Beauty", Waiting to wake up under the right stimulation. When the virus is no longer active, it travels to the nerves at the end of the spine and stays there for a while. In some people, the virus can become active several times a year. This is called a recurrence. When the virus becomes active again, it travels along the nerves to the skin and makes more viruses near the site of the very first infection. The site of the virus is where new sores usually will appear. Herpes outbreaks are not predictable.
If you experience an outbreak of herpes, avoid touching the sores. You get the virus on your hands and may transmit it to other parts of your body. Oral herpes is easily transmitted through skin-to-skin contact so if you are experiencing an outbreak, avoid kissing others and sharing utensils.
The best decision to prevent herpes outbreak and make the disease more manageable is to undergo regular std testing. With this, you can be assured of a longer life.

If the girl had a cold sore, you would get a cold sore. THAT’s IT!
You need to start reading up ( Googling) on STDs for your own education.
