Fluconazole only treats yeast, which was an unlikely cause of those symptoms. And when it is used, normally it's only a single dose; no improvement after 5 days means yeast wasn't the problem. In fact, no STD acts like this, and neither does herpes -- the HSV test probably was unnecessary. You probably had a cold. Stop all treatment and see a doctor familiar with STDs if you remain concerned.
