Conundrum of sexually transmitted infections – One patient, many diseases

Abstract Multiple sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can occur in a single patient, more so in immunocompromised and rarely in immunocompetent patients. We report a case of concurrent syphilitic gumma, condyloma accuminatum, and herpes genitalis in an immunocompetent patient, which resolved with specific treatment. STIs are linked to human behavior. Identification of these risk groups and providing treatment and counseling becomes important in control of STIs.
