Hello,
Welcome and thanks for posting your query to the forum.
I can understand your concern for the red rashes all over your body.
Your doctor is right that it is heat rash. I assure you that it is not related to any STD. Just maintain good hygiene and avoid heat.
For the betterment kindly follow the suggestion below:
- Keep your self away from hot and humid climate.
- Take two times bath.
- Wear cotton clothes and cotton undergarments to be changed two times a day. Do not wear any synthetic or tight garments.
- Do cold compression or warm water compresses according to the weather condition.
-Don't try to scratch or rub the area as can lead to further aggravation of the problem.
Please continue your doctor's treatment.

I reassure you that these rashes are not related to any kind of Sexually transmitted infections. This is quite common type of rashes seen in this type of weather conditions. There is no STD which manifest in this manner. It is just your anxious state and correlation with previous sexual encounter that you are correlating with same.
