Recurring STD problem

I'm hoping that you can answer a few questions regarding STD's that thus far I have not been able to get answered. I'm a male 27 years old, and while attending college, I came in contact with someone who had genital herpes. I developed an outbreak about 1 week later. The outbreak disappeared and never returned. However, over the years I developed dead skin and white dry patches around my gentials which I recently found out was Condyloma (flat warts). Before I was properly diagnosed with Condyloma, I noticed the dry patches but was not sure what it was. As a result, I infected a few people but the symptoms that
they experienced more resemble the herpes outbreak (small red pimples around the genitals).
Even stranger, I now use condoms 99% of the time but the 1% of the time that I don't, both me and my partner develop a bacterial infection. This strange bacterial infection has been happening to me (with each new partner) since the first herpes outbreak. I have been in and out of the STD clinic countless times and I have been cleared of syphillis, gonhorrea, and HIV.
An acidic topical solution was subscribed for me to eliminate the flat warts and they are now gone, but the dry skin recurs. My doctor (by telephone consultation) suggests that it may be a fungal infection. I have applied a fungal cream but it doesn't appear to do any good.
I would appreciate it if you could offer me some advice and/or
treatment suggestions.
