Worried and confused!
Hello Doctor,
I’m a 40 years old male, have herpes 1 & 2, I’m used to getting fungal irritation on my inner thighs after going the beach, I usually apply Lamisil cream once and it goes away, I also had a toe nail fungus a few years ago, I treated it with Lamisil tablets for three month, it took care of it very well.
On the ninth of Jun 2008 I was prescribed Norflaxacin for possible post ureteroscopy infection/pain.
On the 17/Jul/08 I had my very first –supposed- penile yeast infection, saw a GP, he looked at it and prescribed one tablet of fluconazole 150 and Lotrisone cream for 14 days, it cleared it well..
On the 11/Sep/09 I was prescribed Ciprofloxacin for another infection, during which I developed what seemed like slight thrush on the middle of my tongue (still have it, didn’t get any worst).
Around the 15/Sep/08 I developed what seemed like another yeast infection (irritated by masturbation; the last time I had anything sexual to date.) around the edge of my penis’s head and edge of foreskin, on the 18/09/08 took another tablet of fluconazole 150 and started using the Lotrisone cream again for around a couple of weeks (calmed it but didn’t cure it)
On the 23/Sep/08 I noticed what seemed like the beginning of an outbreak of herpes (the last one being almost two years) on my penis, started taking Valtrex, 2 tabs per day for three days (dosage for recurring outbreaks) went away in about ten days.
On 02/October/08 after stopping the Lotrisone cream for a day, I noticed what seemed like white creamy discharge on the inner foreskin and redness around the edges of the glans, I used the Lotrisone cream and it immediately calmed it down.
On 07/October/08 saw another GP, was advised to switch from Lotrisone to Pevaril cream twice a day for 13 days (until 20/October/08).
Strangely my penis head’s color looked more normal a couple of days after stopping the Pevaril cream than while I was using the cream.
Then on the 29/October/08 I felt slight tingling/itching around the edges of the glans of my penis, today; 31/October/08 it seemed much more redder, flaky and very irritated with little cuts like around the edges.
Characteristics:
1) The only affected area is around and behind edges of glans and edge of foreskin
2) There is no smell from affected area, but if rubbed it can produce dry white stuff.
3) When irritated the glans edges can get swollen
4) The effected area is always marked by the outline of the foreskin (redness).
5) No internal discharge
6) No burning sensation during urination.
7) The tip of the glans seems unaffected, as the foreskin never reaches it.
I did a 4 and 8 weeks post possible receptive oral sex/contraction of HIV Ab tests which retuned negative, I’m waiting on the 12-week period.
I’m panicking and confused, what is going on with this reoccurring infection;
Do I have a week immune system due to a possible HIV contraction (I had other symptoms)?
What else can be causing this?
Please help me.
Carlos.

As I said;
"I did a 4 and 8 weeks post unprotected receptive oral sex/possible contraction of HIV Ab tests, which retuned negative, I’m waiting on the 12-week period." that was the last dumb thing I did.
My question is about the possible yeast infection?
