Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
The primary stage of syphilis is characterized by the appearance of a chancre. Little or no pain accompanies this sore. Herpes simplex II infection will present with a painful ulceration. Condylomata acuminata appear as fleshy growths in which the skin is intact. Gonorrhea infections manifest with dysuria or discharge.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
If an individual chooses to have intercourse with a partner whose infection status is unknown, a new condom should be used for each act of intercourse. Oral contraceptives contain hormones and do not offer resistance to sexually transmitted infections. Sponges and spermicides contain chemicals to kill sperm. These chemicals alone do not provide protection from disease.
