 软下疳 III

6. 如何治疗？
用抗生素能够有效地治疗软性下疳。溃口会在约2周内愈合。淋巴结肿大很可能消除。软性下疳是增加艾滋病病毒(HIV)感染风险的疾病之一。

7. 如何预防？
避免与已感染者性接触是最好的预防办法。除此之外，理性地遵循“安全性行为指南”（在某些发展中国家，这种指南手册恐怕比较缺乏。中国大陆在此方面的服务也不健全——译者注）可以提供一些保护。尤其是，如果正确地和坚持使用安全套，有助于避免被传染。那些已感染者必须终止与人的性接触，直到被治愈为止；而且必须通报给自己的性伴（在性忌讳的社会，因为感染者会受到歧视的原因，这一做法恐怕很难得到保障——译者注），以至于这些人能去做检测和得到治疗。

 Chancroid III

6. How is it treated?
Chancroid is effectively treated with antibiotics. The sores will heal in about two weeks. Large lymph node swellings must be drained. Chancroid is one of the diseases that carry an increased risk of transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes AIDS.

7. How can it be prevented?
Chancroid is best prevented by avoiding sexual contact with an infected person. Short of this, following the “safe sex guidelines” offers some reasonable protection. Especially condoms are helpful in avoiding transmission if they are used correctly and consistently. Those who are infected with the disease must stop having any sexual contact until they are cured, and they must notify their sexual partners so that they can be tested and treated.
