primary secondary and tertiary all treated with penicillin but remember this...
primary and secondary treated with IM therapy if allergic to penicillin in primary and secondary then give doxycycline for primary and secondary
tertiary is treated with IV penicillin and if allergic still penicillin but desensitize
pregnant desensitize
