Recall that when a question mentions an ulcerated genital lesion, we should be thinking about two things:

  • An nonpainful and indurated lesion: CHANCRE - due to first-degree syphilis by spirochete Treponema pallidum
  • A painful exudative lesion: CHANCROID - Haemophilus ducreyi (FA has a mnemonic: it's so painful, you do cry [ducreyi])

This question was testing first that HIV is a sexually transmitted disease and that of the listed organisms, Haemophilus ducreyi is sexually rtansmitted.
