You should abstain from kissing some one while they have a visible cold sore or fever blister. Kiss them on the cheek (Euro style if you're comfortable with that) instead. The oral herpes virus is less likely to be passed on while there are no signs or symptoms of a break out.

He needs to have a blood test to determine. If you were "only kissing", and you have herpes, then it is very possible that the virus was transfered to him. "Burning lips" does not constitute a diagnosis of herpes though. There are other symptoms associated with the virus such as blisters. Go to a doctor, get tested.
