    a public health doctor looked up the man’s electronic medical records, discovering that in January of 2022 he had gone to a hospital emergency department for ulcerative genital and anal lesions. At the time, he was treated for a presumed herpes infection—but his herpes test was negative and he was not tested for syphilis.

    Has what is assumed to be herpes but IS NOT TESTED FOR SYPHILIS.

    What the fuck are they doing in Michigan? Dude has what appears to be herpes on his dick and ass, the sample tests negative for herpes and you don’t test the sample for every STD known to mankind?
