My boyfriend and I have been together for 16 in a half years and yes your cold sore will give her herpes.  I was just diagnose a week in a half ago.  We thought we were being careful and I guess we had been playing Russian roulette.  Get yourself checked out by you doctor and have him prescribe medication instead of using over the counter.
