Could ongoing rash/hives be STD?

I had unprotected sex exactly two months ago. About two weeks after that I started to get hives. Now with the hives I get like red marks on my skin. The hives literally itch and burn so bad. It appears all over my body including face. Zyrtec helps. The hives/welts/marks come and within minutes they are gone. This has been happening for two months now. Would hiv rash do this? Could it be herpes? I have been to both my doctor and dermatologist who have both said it is chronic hives. Could it really be chronic hives or does this sound like std? Please help. I'm scared.

I’m not an expert on sexual health but I did a bit of research and maybe this website can help clear up an confusion you may have. I fully recommend that you also have a chat with your doctor as well. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/sexually-transmitted-diseases-stds/in-depth/std-symptoms/art-20047081
Hope you feel better soon!
