Yes. Sexually transmitted infections are usually passed from one person to another through direct contact between the sex organs and the exchange of infected semen, blood, vaginal fluids, or fluids from sores. And in general, kissing is a low risk activity and is a good safer-sex method. But it is possible to contract certain sexually transmitted infections, including herpes, by kissing an infected person. In fact, herpes sores on the mouth are very contagious and can easily pass the virus to another person.
There are two types of herpes that can be sexually transmitted: herpes simplex virus-1 and herpes simplex virus-2. HSV-1 usually appears as cold sores and fever blisters on or near the mouth, especially the lips. This is the herpes that parents can pass to their kids kissing them good night, but it can be sexually transmitted, too. HSV-2 usually is sexually transmitted and usually affects the genitals, but it can be passed orally, too. So, both types of herpes can be sexually transmitted and both types can appear orally or genitally.
Common symptoms of herpes include
recurring rash with clusters of blistery sores appearing anywhere on the vagina, cervix, penis, mouth, anus, buttocks, or elsewhere on the body
pain and discomfort
itching and burning sensations during urination
Symptoms usually appear from two to 20 days after infection, but it may be years before the primary outbreak occurs. Genital herpes is most contagious from the time the sores are present until seven days they are completely healed and the scabs have fallen off. Unfortunately, recent studies show that people may be contagious even when they have no symptoms.
More than 45 million Americans have genital herpes. While there are treatments available to ease the discomfort and suppress very frequent recurrences, there is no cure.

Yes, there isn't any. Herpes is caused by a virus. Actually, there is little cure for viruses nowadays. The only thing that you can generally do in the case of a viral infection is strengthen the immune system and hope it fights it off. Not with Herpes, the immune system can't win against it. Thus you only get to treat the symptoms. Once you're infected, it stays with you for life. So don't get infected.
Personal experience. I have had genital herpes for over 5 years.

If one of the partners is infected then yes. You're damn straight you can get herpes from oral sex.It's a virus transmitted by fluids. Be careful out there.
