On physical examination, we observed two small ulcers, each with a fibrinous base and erythematous borders, without associated lymphadenopathy. The initial diagnosis was a genital herpes outbreak. Thus, a seven-day course of Valaciclovir 500\u00a0mg twice daily orally was prescribed. An ulcer sample was collected for NAATs including\n                    <jats:italic>C.<\/jats:italic>\n                    <jats:italic>trachomatis L1-L3<\/jats:italic>\n                    , Herpes simplex virus 1 and 2, Varicella-zoster virus,\n                    <jats:italic>Treponema pallidum<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>Haemophilus ducreyi<\/jats:italic>\n                    .
