Yes, it is possible to get Herpes in the gums. It is called HSV gingivostomatisis, which is an infection of the gums. Usually Herpes Labilis, herpes of the lips or mouth area, will occur in the lips or mouth. Occasionally it presents itself in the gums.

Yes, the Herpes Simplex virus can cause lesions on gums, similar to the ones that can appear on your lips (often called "cold sores"). The virus can also infect your tongue. You can easily contract this virus or spread it to others through contact with saliva.

Yes, herpes lesions can occur on essentially any part of the body. After the lips, the gums are a fairly common location for oral herpes lesions.
