Mystery infection is unbearable

Hi everyone.  I REALLY need your help. Posted on herpes, will post here, dermatology and anywhere else that may lead to some clues, cause this is a real mystery! Long story short - slept with a guy unprotected (both thought we were clean from previous testing) and gave him oral, 1-2 weeks after this I came out with horrible vaginal infection.  Swelling, burning, discharge, severe itch, lesions on vagina, urethra and internal vaginal swelling/heaviness, pelvic pain, red spots/blisters on bum and inner thigh, hot sunburn like rash on buttocks and thighs, raw throat, blistered lips, fever, hot face, chills.  Was very very ill initially for two weeks but now it all comes and goes - don't have all symptoms all the time. Been tested for all stds including gon, clamydia, trich, hiv and herpes (swab, rapid 2 test and igg) - all negative.  Any ideas if there are any other stds that aren't routinely tested that this could be.  Or any other infection?  What about ebv gentially?  I NEED some ideas.  Doc doesn't know.  Will be a long time before seeing gyn so need to try and figure out what direction to go in.  Treated for yeast, bv and more antibiotics and antivirals just in case it worked - but still in lots of discomfort and PAIN.  ANY ideas will be great, thank you.  Need to sort it and get on with life again. BIG question is - any other infection other than herpes, hiv and hpv that is not curable - some relief in knowing that if I don't have these then at least whatever this is can be cured - once I find out what it is. Thank you so much.

hi, yes still undiagnosed, but pretty sure it's herpes.  No neck problems though.

sorry noone has responded to you sooner. Are you still having these symptoms... and then some? Is your neck stiff sore and crackly? joint pain(especially the knees), headache? fatigue?
