A member asked:
Does herpes type 1 genitally recurs less, is shed less, and presents far less risk of transmission to others than hsv-2 ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not.: It's possible (almost anything is possible), but highly unlikely. You didn't describe what you have on your foot that led you to believe that it's herpes. Consult a dermatologist and find out what is going on.
