Herpes?

Okay about the beginning of August I had a cold sore on my mouth. I was seeing a guy at the time and we were kissing and then he performed oral sex on me. A couple weeks after my genital area got really irritated so I went to the doctor and asked about herpes. He did a pelvic exam and said I probably had a yeast infection and gave me medicine for that. The irritation went away and I never had any blisters that I could see. Then at the end of September I had flu like symptoms, runny nose, cough, nausea, muscle aches in arms and legs, ear ache, no fever though. I have a loss of appetite and have lost a considerable amount of weight. This continues now along with nausea and muscle aches. Also, I just recently started my period and before it started (about a week or so before) I started getting irritated down there again. I don't see and visible blisters still. I don't know if it's another yeast infection or not. I've been tested for all stds and they all came back negative. I had a herpes test but I have not received the results yet. I do get cold sores often but could this be genital herpes? I'm nervous for the results and would like some advice.

I plan on going back and getting checked again. Thank you so much for your reassuring answer.

at this point it's best to be seen and get properly tested for yeast and bacterial infections vaginally again.

since you have hsv1 orally, it's unlikely you'd contract hsv1 genitally from receiving oral sex. You have significant protection from your oral infection.

Also I have been having pain in my urethra, not when I pee though. My vagina also has this tingling feeling on and off sometimes.
