      XIV.   Additional Diagnostic Concerns

             Patients may be simultaneously infected with more than one
             sexually transmitted disease. Evaluate all such patients
             with serolocjy for syphilis at presentation and at 3
             months, and for HIV at presentation, and at 3 months and
             6 months after presentation.

                (other erythromycins acceptable), podophyllin, and
                lindane in pregnancy.

            B.  Erythromycin is ineffective in preventing congenital
                syphilis in the fetus of a syphilis-infected pregnant

      XVI.   Treatment of Sexual Partners, Presumptive
