Hello,
Since you have been tested negative for all STD tests & have been seeing the same woman, you need not worry. It could be tinea cruris( fungal infection).
You can take a course of antifungal (fluconazole) & apply anti-fungal ointment in the area affected.
Wear cotton clothes. Take care of your hygiene, wash your groin clean & dry after exercise or sweating. Wear undergarments that does not trap heat.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
