Explanation

|
NACO uses color-coded kits for syndromic management of STI/RTI. Each color corresponds to a specific syndrome and is a frequently tested public health topic.
Explanation of the Correct Answer:
Pair 1: Red – Urethral discharge → Correct
Pair 2: Green – Vaginitis → Incorrect
Pair 3: White – Inguinal bubo → Correct
Thus, two pairs are correctly matched.
Explanation of Other Options:
Pair 2 is incorrect because:
- Green kit is used for genital ulcer disease (herpetic) or other conditions depending on classification
- Vaginal discharge (vaginitis) is treated with a different kit (commonly Yellow in standard NACO classification)
NACO Color-Coded STI/RTI Kits:
- Red Kit:
- Green Kit:
- Genital ulcer disease (herpetic)
- White Kit:
- Blue Kit:
- Genital ulcer disease (non-herpetic)
- Yellow Kit:
- Black Kit:
