I'm assuming you have had someone take a look at the boils when you had the STD testing done?  Did the same doctor prescribe antibiotics?  Are you making sure that you keep the area clean?  

If you have taken medication prescribed by a doctor, and it didn't clear up the issue- you need to get back into your doctor and let them know it didn't help.  They will be able to adjust the treatment as needed.
