so about two months ago inhad unprotected sex with someone and started having some itching. i went to the doctors and the swab (culture) came back negative and i had a yeast infection twice in a row since that incident. ive been blood tested for herpes on three diffrent occasions since the incident and it came back negative for both 1 and 2 each time. im waitung for next month to reach 12 week (last test 9 weeks since the incident) but now i have itching and honestly it seems likw the itchung never goes away! i do have discharge it doesnt smell though.

    sounds like persistent or recurring yeast infecs, sometimes u have to get stronger medication like an oral pill from doctors. maybe go on probiotics. if youve had 3 negative herpes tests and no sores i highly doubt you have it - most places refuse to test if there are no sores present. if youve just got itching and non smelling discharge (yeast discharge has no smell and herpes discharge usuallt smells slightly) then i think uve got thrush again.
