The gonococcus is a pyogenic (i.e., pus-forming), gram-negative diplococcus that evokes inflammatory reactions characterized by purulent exudates. Internal human papillomavirus (HPV) condylomata acuminata warts are cauliflower-shaped lesions that affect the mucous membranes of the vagina, urethra, anus, or mouth. The initial symptoms of primary genital herpes (herpes simplex virus, HSV) infections include tingling, itching, and pain in the genital area, followed by eruption of small pustules and vesicles.
