viral shedding until lesions are crusted over
12 weeks until antibodies

Haemophillus ducreyi
superficial ragged edge ulcer, red halo, necrotic exudate
clinical dx-VERY painful ulcer and lymphadenopathy

- MSM
- HIV, taking PrEP, partner with syphilis
- incarcerated, prostitution, males under 29 years
- high local prevalence
Syphilis
How to diagnose?
next step after dx?
Screen with nontreponemal test: RPR (rapid plasma reagin) or VDRL (venereal dz research lab)
^use this to direct treatment as treponemal tests are positive for life
Confirm with treponemal test: flourescent treponemal antibody absorption or t. pallidum particle agglutination
report to health department
Causes of false positive RPR or VDRL
older age, pregnancy, cardiovascular disease, malaria, leprosy, recent immunizations

4-8 weeks after chancre
maculopapular rash/lymphanopathy, malaise, fever, condyloma lata
resolve after 2-6 wks regardless of treatment
Early Latent Syphilis
how to diagnose?
treatment
- +serology
- no past dx of syphilis
- no evidence of primary, secondary, or late
- suspect infection was in the last 12 months
must treat because of transplacental transmission
