Mystery infection is unbearable

Hi everyone.  I know I may not be in the right forum but I REALLY need your help - looking at all options now. Posted on herpes, will post here, dermatology and anywhere else that may lead to some clues, cause this is a real mystery! Long story short - slept with a guy unprotected (both thought we were clean from previous testing) and gave him oral, 1-2 weeks after this I came out with horrible vaginal infection.  Swelling, burning, discharge, severe itch, lesions on vagina, urethra and internal vaginal swelling/heaviness, pelvic pain, red spots/blisters on bum and inner thigh, hot sunburn like rash on buttocks and thighs, raw throat, blistered lips, fever, hot face, chills, itching round bumps on legs mainly that weeped then healed with a scar.  Was very very ill initially for two weeks but now it all comes and goes - don't have all symptoms all the time. Been tested for all stds including gon, clamydia, trich, hiv and herpes (swab, rapid 2 test and igg) - all negative.  Any ideas if there are any other stds that aren't routinely tested that this could be.  Or any other infection?  I NEED some ideas.  Doc doesn't know.  Will be a long time before seeing gyn so need to try and figure out what direction to go in.  Treated for yeast, bv and more antibiotics and antivirals just in case it worked - but still in lots of discomfort and PAIN.  ANY ideas will be great, thank you.  Need to sort it and get on with life again. Thank you so much.

I'm going to move this to Sexual Health, but I wonder if you have been tested for strep A or B.  Strep A is what is usually in the throat, but can be genital, and Strep B is a naturally occurring vaginal infection.  I've had B, and they tested for it by doing a culture and just seeing what grew.

I hope you feel better soon, it sounds miserable.

So sorry I don't have any suggestions for you other than if traditional physicians can't find answers, maybe approach a naturopath-they tend to think outside the box. (Also have you communicated with the partner to see what is health status is?)

I'm going to have admin transfer this to women's health, maybe you can get some answers there. Good luck, I hope you find resolution. (This is a forum for pelvic organ prolapse, totally unrelated to std.)

(Hi I know we responded on another forum but will do so here too incase different people read this one and come up with any ideas!  I'm clutching at straws now!)

Yes, sorry forgot to mention that, negative!  I have no clue what this is now but I am in so  much pain.  Thinking it's viral rather than bacterial or fungal but not sure about genital viral infections?!?!?

I posted in one of your other threads but syphilis is another one that you should be checked for. It's a blood test.
