Herpes virus is not usually checked when doing STD screen unless requested specifically, however it could be sexually transmitted and it is one of causes of mouth ulcer. The virus is the one that causes cold sores.

The mouth ulcer could be a canker sore or a traumatic injury. The herpes virus, if present can cause a mouth lesion. If you practice sex than you will not have concerns in future.

There are hundreds of different reasons for mouth lesions, including HIV and some STD's. Most causes are self limiting and ulcer is gone in 2 weeks. See your Dentist or a specialist in Oral Pathology if lesion still present after 14 days.
