[Question #4875] Undetected STD?

Hi docs, This question ranges a few STDs, and I've talked to Nurse Warren on her forum extensively, so hoping one of the Drs. H might answer (I understand if you don't want to set a bad precedent because it does partially involve herpes). On September 18, I slept with a new partner (a friend, had been tested one partner before me), unprotected vaginal sex and I performed oral on him. He did not perform oral on me. A few days later, I had some white discharge, and went to Planned Parenthood, where they diagnosed me with yeast. About two weeks after that, still felt some burning so went back to PP. Did another pelvic exam, said BV, put me on flagyl. On and off since then I've had a decent amount of white discharge and on and off burning, but no lesions. I've seen two additional gyns (private offices) and they both didn't see anything. I've read about NGU for men: could that be a thing for women? I haven't had pain when urinating.
I got a 10 test panel at 6 weeks, all clear, and a Western Blot through UW at 13 weeks, also negative for both HSV types. But today I was sent into a tailspin when my throat hurt a little and I noticed a yellow dot on my left tonsil (it kind of looked like a pimple, if that's a thing). I messed with it a little, and it became a red dot. I then noticed another tiny red dot above it. I went to an urgent care, and NP said it was just normal URI, but at my asking swabbed for herpes. For what it's worth, I also had the guy get tested, 10 weeks past the exposure he had before me, and it was negative for everything.
1. Does this sound like recurrent yeast? Herpes despite the negative tests?
2. I have also noticed what seems to be a skin tag on my inner thigh, maybe three inches below my groin. Is this likely to be HPV? I had two Gardisil shots, but failed to get the third (dumb, I know).
3. Anything else you can think of?
