    I would advise getting a lab done to see if its herpes or a yeast infection that has progressed.

    i would get tested, it could be herpes.

    also remember herpes is not tested for in a general STD check.. so whilst your partner is clear of all other STDs.. unless your partner requested a herpes test, there would be no way of knowing.
