Lactobacillus is normal bacteria in and around the genitals and not the cause of your symptoms. What do you mean by "UTI symptoms" and "STD clear"? Lower genital STD symptoms are discharge and pain ONLY when voiding; UTI usually has urgency, frequency, bladder discomfort. There is little overlap. If STD testing was only for gonorrhea/chlamydia, you still might have nongonococcal urethritis, an STD
