What Causes Swelling And Itching On The Vagina?

hello my name is Selamawit. I m 27. I m very scared of getting std s so it s been more than a year since I ve had sex. Recently I went out with this guy and since I didn t want to have sex we kissed with both of our underwears on but he was touching my vagina with my underwear still on. I had this itch on my vagina. It didn t hurt but when I touched it it felt a bit swollen. I didn t remember this untill after the incident. Getting back to my story I kept checking his penis for precum but there was none. At the end I was on top of him with my underwear and his underwear still on. Finally he got up to put on a condom and I think I noticed some fluid and since he was touching my vagina I m afraid that it may have made it easier for his fluid ( if it touched my underwear) to come in to contact with my vagina. This was all that happened we didn t have sex but I m going out of my mind. I ve had similar incidents with 3 guys. I don t have sex because I m so scared but I end up doing this kind of thing. On my last incident which happened in 2011 I got so scared that I kept taking PEP for like 5 months. I m not sure. I recently got tested after 28days of my recent possible exposure for HIV antigen/ antibody, the test came out negative.PEP my have affected my immune system and the result is not showing or could this be the real result? ( I didn t take PEP this time) It s been almost more than 2 yrs since I did so. Since this kept happening to me I m beginning to think that there s something wrong with me and I m currently seeing a professional psychiatrist. Please provide me with answers the soonest time possible.

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem is most likely yeast infection. But it is better to have a local and pelvic examination by a gynecologist and swab to rule out other causes like bartholinitis or infection. For yeast infection i treat with clotrimazole cream or vaginal suppository for local application. I also recommend my patients to use intimate wash regularly to normalize vaginal bacterial flora and PH and there by prevent getting further infections. Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further queries.
Thanks
