Do I have herpes or am I just freaking myself out?

Hi okay, so I know you'll probably tell me I don't have herpes... in the past 6 months I've read everything online to explain my symptoms, and now I feel like I've just read too much to get this out of my head. 6 months ago I got a burning and itching sensation all over my vulva and anus, and itching down my legs (probably mental). I had been with my current partner for maybe 2 months at the time and he had no symptoms. I went to the gyno and she said it looked like a yeast infection. She said nothing about herpes and gave me a diflucan, which seemed to help but not solve the problem. Since then I get occasional itching and sometimes the skin just feels raw down there, but most of the time I feel fine just a quick itch or two a day but this has been constant for over 6 months now. Sometimes it's Red down there, but no rash, bumps, or ulcers. I've noticed a tiny break in the skin once or twice after sex but only after I've been messing with it or after sex, they never just appear and they heal in a day or two, they don't resemble any sort of outbreak. I was tested for gonnerea and chlymidia. My only other symptom is some cramping and bleeding after sex, but I also got an iud put in about 7 months ago, which I think is why that has been happening. Let me know what you think, I know I should go back to the doctor but my anxiety about this is just so terrible I can't get myself to go. Thank you for you time.

Certainly doesn't sound hsv related and way to much is made of itching symptoms with regards to hsv. You can always get an igg bloodtest.

6 months is probably too long to have hsv symptoms correct?
