3 -- The patient’s reports are not consistent with herpes simplex. Herpes simplex lesions are typically painful. Nonpainful ulcerations are consistent with syphilis. It will be important to assess the sexual activity of the patient but this line of questioning does not address the patient’s most immediate questions and concerns. Genital warts present as fleshy growths.
