Not likely. Herpes of the genital region usually isn't spread that way. It would hurt a whole lot and a fungal infection itches a whole lot. So I would go by symptoms. If you can see the infected area if it is itchy and red probably fungus. If it is very very painful and has tiny blisters then probably Herpes. You get herpes from either oral sex or sex. Depends on what type it is.

Hi, I am a microbiologist and not a doctor. My take on this is that the Herpes probably is causing you some mouth sores or a different virus that will go away. The doctor probably shouldn't have given you the fluconazole for the cut feel.

I don't think you have any GI or mouth infection with yeast just what I said above.

As for the Herpes infection you have to treat that in 24-48 hours or the meds won't work on it anyway.  Herpes goes away on its own but takes longer without treatment.

As for the groin infection. Try getting Terbinafine (Lamisil). Often fungi get resistant to the other drugs and this one seems to still be good. Use it as directed. Hope that helps.
