Yes, it is possible.
A common way is for someone with a cold sore (herpes simplex 1) to perform oral sex on someone, giving them genital herpes. Herpes is the same virus, location and severity differs.
Whoever posted above that HIV is not transmitted through oral sex- would you let a man with HIV ejaculate in your mouth? NO- not worth the risk.

The STD risks from oral sex: herpes due to HSV-1 is the biggest risk, occasional gonorrhea, theoretical possibility of syphilis (but very rare), and nongonococcal urethritis (NGU), sometimes due to entirely normal oral bacteria and therefore no serious health risk. No risk of chlamydia or HIV. Risk of HPV uncertain but probably very low. All in all, oral sex is far safer than vaginal or anal intercourse.

I contracted herpes via oral sex. My boyfriend had a cold sore inside his mouth when he went down on me. We didn't know I would get herpes from it.

Chlamydia, human papillomavirus (HPV), gonorrhea, herpes, hepatitis (multiple strains), and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) — including HIV — can be transmitted through oral sex
