A 34 year-old graduate student presents to the student health center with reddish, crusted lesions on his penis. He is treated with fungal cream. One week later he returns because the lesions are not getting better, and he is prescribed dicloxacillin (penicillin derivative) for a presumed staph infection. It’ been over 3 months since his initial visit, and the lesions on his penis have resolved. However, he now returns with a rash on his trunk and sees a different provider who knows the patient is a man who has sex with men.

3. The lesions are called __________ and are a “hallmark” of _________ stage of disease.

Question 3 options:

A. chancres / primary

B. chancres/ secondary

C. Boils / primary

D. Boils / primary
