Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
As you had protected sex, the possibility of STD is meager. Moreover generalized itching over the body is not a common feature in any of the STD.
It could be possible either due to some non-venereal skin diseases or due to phobia against STD that you are having in your mind.
If you consult a Dermatologist, he/she will help you to overcome this problem. Good day to you.
