					| In answer to your questions: 1) diagnosis will require physical examination; best to see your doctor 2) either partner can infect the other and it is equally likely that for example the male can infect the female, who may then re-infect the male, and so forth, so if this does turn out to be a sexually transmitted infection both partners need to be treated 3) treatment depends on diagnosis as above; it would be inappropriate to 'guess' a recommendation
