Undiagnosable STI

[Leahr90]

Hi doctor, I have an STI that keeps on coming back negative when tested. For some years now I've had smelly discharge and itching from the vagina. Also have smelly discharge and itching from the anus. I also have discharge and itching of the eyes, itching in my nose and mouth. I've been tested for all STDs and STIs numerous times over the years with  negative results for all. I now have a new partner and since we had unprotected sex, he has had discharge and smell coming from his penis. I'm really embarrassed and scared he will break up with me. I went to the doctor's recently and was told that it's only BV. But how did my boyfriend catch it when BV isn't contagious? Is it possible to have an STD and have the results come back negative? If so what can I do? I have this nasty infection and haven't been able to get a diagnosis or treatment.

BV can be infectious - it's a bacteria called gardnerella. Has he been tested?

Have you had the discharge from your eyes and such tested? That is likely something different, but you should absolutely get that checked since it involves your eyes.

There are no doctors on this website, sorry.  But it sounds like you have a chronic yeast infection.  These don't usually pass to men, but they do sometimes.
