AB A  32-year-old  man  presents  with  complains  of  a  1-week  history  of  multiple  painful  vesicles  on  the  shaft  of  his  penis  associated  with  tender  groin  adenopathy  (Figure  129-1).  The  vesicles  broke  2  days  ago  and  the  pain  has  increased.  He  had  similar  lesions  1  year  ago  but  never  went  for  healthcare  examination  at  that  time.  He  has  had  3  different  female  sexual  partners  in  the  last  2  years  but  has  no  knowledge  of  them  having  any  sores  or  diseases.  He  was  given  the  presumptive  diagnosis  of  genital  herpes  and  a  course  of  acyclovir.  His  herpes  culture  came  back  positive  and  his  rapid  plasma  reagin  (RPR)  and  HIV  tests  were  negative.
