Answer to Question 1

Ans:
B

Feedback:

Vaginal delivery is safe in the absence of lesions at the onset of labor. HSV does not preclude breast-feeding, and antivirals would not be commonly used in pregnancy, nor would they guarantee a risk-free vaginal delivery.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A

Feedback:

A correlation between circumcision and lower incidence of penile cancer has been noted. Circumcision is unlikely to affect the development of Peyronie disease or priapism, and is not noted to influence the ease of attaining or maintaining erection.
