You clearly have no STD, based on the tests done, and the symptoms you describe don't suggest STD.  I would not have advised the treatments you were given, but in the extremely unlikely case that there was a bacterial STD that had been missed by the tests, it would have been eradicated.

The "symptoms" you describe are your wife's, not yours.  If she has a problem with it, she should seek health care; but if she considers her vaginal secretions to be normal, they probably are.  Your description may be consistent with vaginal yeast, but yeast in the vagina is not necessarily abnormal, often clears up on its own, has no importance for a partner's health, and does not necessarily require treatment unless she has symptoms that concern her.

Bottom line:  If your wife thinks her vaginal secretions are abnormal, she should seek care.  Otherwise don't worry about it.

Best wishes--  HHH, MD

Just a thought... what does she use for birth control?  I used a diaphram for a period of time and had a partner who experienced pain after intercourse.  It went away when I stopped using the diaphram.  We decided it was probably an "allergy" to the spermacide.
