Yes.
The virus that causes oral herpes/cold sores is also very happy to infect the genitals. In fact, it causes over half of all genital herpes infections, and it normally gets to the genitals via oral sex, so it is not an uncommon way of catching genital herpes!
A cold sore is an active outbreak, and is very infectious, but there is also a risk when no cold sore is present because the herpes virus is active about 5-10% of the time when there are no symptoms.
If the person receiving the oral has ever had a cold sore, they already have the oral herpes virus themselves, and will produce antibodies to it, which should prevent them from catching genital herpes through oral sex. It is people with no history of oral cold sores who are at risk.
about it you can get information from here http://med11.notlong.com/8AAR3Gw
The virus that causes cold sores is herpes simplex 1, a cousin of herpes simplex 2, which causes the well-known sexual disease. About 80% of the people in North America have dormant (inactive) herpes 1 virus living permanently in their body. The virus typically resides in a dormant state within the nerve cells of your spinal cord. The body’s immune system is normally able to keep the virus in its inactive state. When an infected person is exposed to a "trigger", or if the immune system is weakened, then the virus quickly multiplies, and spreads down the nerve cell and out onto the skin, usually on the lips.
