Can someone take the time to answer my herpes question?

So I've asked this and it seems no one answers.. I'll try again. Anyways, so I had unprotected sex two months ago. Started an antibiotic a few days later and about a week later had really bad itching. The itching is still going on. I can barely sleep. Went to the gyno 5 times. They said no signs of herpes. They tested me for Gonorreah and chlamydia it was negative. Tested for bacteria and trich, negative. Herpes swab, negative. Said all the saw was a strand of yeast. Wtf. I went and had blood drawn today for herpes and syphilis and my anxiety is through the roof.. I'm so being afraid. The guy I had sex w said he was having no symptoms and that I'm crazy. Also no painful urination.  Please help is this herpes

just itching and no obvious lesions isn't herpes related. You've been seen 5 times and no one has seen any signs of herpes so no real reason to be thinking herpes at this point.

Sometimes antibiotics can throw off our protective flora in the genital tract and cause us to have itching. Try things like soaking in oatmeal baths, let the genital area open to air when you can, and apply a barrier cream like aquaphor or desitin daily to help protect your irritated skin. I assume they treated you for yeast when they found it?

Thank you for responding! I'm afraid. Yes they treated me for yeast and tested me for both yeast and bacteria. But none of the yeast treatments have helped.. Last time they looked they said all they saw was a strand of yeast in microscope.. I just don't get the itching. It's also itching around anal area. I have been experiencing body pains too.. I'm nervous
