A person can pretty much get any STD from oral sex. Of course some STDs are spread more easily than others through oral sex, and some STDs are pretty rare to contract through oral sex than some other STDs.
The STD that is spread through oral sex more than any other STD is herpes. If a person has cold sores and gives another person oral sex it can cause the person receiving to develop genital herpes, and vice versa (genital area to the mouth).
Herpes simplex virus 1 and 2 cause both cold sores and genital herpes. Cold sores are usually caused by herpes simplex virus 1, while genital herpes are usually caused by herpes simplex virus 2.
Take care!

There has been no conclusive evidence that HIV has ever been contracted through oral sex. That, of course, doesn't mean it can't be.
Every single other STD can very easily be transmitted through oral sex and, in fact, is actually easier to get that way. Mouth, throat, esophegus... It's all mucus membranes. Oral sex is acually far less safe than vaginal sex.
Condoms and dental dams (let's face it, condoms are way better) are at least as important for oral sex.

Herpes can be transmitted orally. How's that?
