thank you for query.with the given description.fungal infection like candida can cause burning and itching in the vagina.These can transmitted as STD also.As you are undergone tests wait for the reports to see if there is any othe STD.For now clean the area with warm water twice daily.you can use topical antifungal like clotrimazole and oral antifungal like flucanazole 150mg weekly once.Treating the partner is also important as it can reappear in both.Consult doctor after reports for proper diagnosis and treatment.else you can get back to us with details and photos.
