Blood Test Needed: I am sorry but we may disappoint here. Having not seen your skin at the time of the exam i cannot comment. But, you can and should have the herpes blood tests to make sure you truly are infected or not.

Herpes and yeast inf: It is possible but not probable that you have not been diagnosed correctly. You apparently have been having unprotected sex and have acquired these infections from a sexual contact. You should obtain counselling about your sexual activities to help you in the future.
