Sexually transmitted infections

Herpes simplex, syphilis and chancroid present initially with ulcers. Warts and molluscum contagiosum form papules with varying and distinctive surface characteristics. Chancroid, lymphogranuloma venereum and Donovanosis (granuloma inguinale) are rare and almost never seen in the United States. Chancroid is a common cause of genital ulcers in some third world countries. Twenty percent of the population of the United States over the age of 12 has serologic evidence of genital herpes. Warts are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV) and also infect about 20% on the US population. HPV is a cause of cervical cancer.
