Transmission by giving oral sex and kissing when I have genital herpes

I was recently diagnosed with genital herpes and my sores are still healing.  I've been taking Valtrex, antibiotics, etc. for about a week.  I have read a lot about this disease, but cannot figure out whether I can transmit the disease to my partner by kissing him and giving him oral sex.  The information I have read is confusing - I'm reading I can pass even genital herpes through saliva, but at the same time it cautions heavily against so many things but really doesn't caution against kissing and being the giver of oral sex.  If anyone has any accurate information, I would appreciate the help.  Thank you.
