lybrate-user! oral herpes can be transmitted by skin to skin contact including contact of body fluids and that includes kissing and physical intimacy. I'd recommend you to get tested for std to be absolute sure of the chances. There is no point in delaying it if you're sure that the person you kissed has oral herpes to be specific.
