Brief Answer:
Abdominal ultrasound and screening for all STDs
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome.
Thank you for writing in.
I can understand how you feel that all your symptoms could be related to a sexually transmitted infection, after that particular incident.
First of all, the skin rash that you are experiencing has been shown to a doctor, and could have a completely different cause, I am sure your dermatologist is quite experienced, and is more than sure that the cause is fungal. Either way, you could show the rash to another dermatologist for a second opinion; if the dermatologist suspects a sexually transmitted infection (STI), he/she will ask you about your sexual history, you can confide in him/her and reveal the same, so that you can adequately treated.
As for the LFT, you have taken quite a few medications, and these could have easily caused the imbalance in your liver function, as all drugs pass through the liver, and can thus affect its functioning. You could request for an abdominal and pelvic ultrasound with specific emphasis on the liver, just to make sure all is well with the liver.
Coming to the sexual status, I would recommend a complete screening of all sexually transmitted infections, this is available in all hospitals, and will certainly help rule out an infection that could have resulted from the unfortunate incident. This screening will include all the possible sexually transmitted infections. Once this is clear, you can resume a normal life without having to worry about the past.
I hope this information helps you. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications. I would be more than happy to help.

Brief Answer:
Yes; any multi-speciality hosp; 3 months; 4 weeks
Detailed Answer:
Hello once again sir.
I shall surely help you with all your queries.
1. Yes, these investigations will be conclusive. Do not worry about it sir.
2. Any/all multi-speciality hospitals should have the option to get a complete screening for all STD's (eg. Fortis Hospitals, etc.). The approximate cost would be from 3,000-5,000 INR
3. I would say approximately from 1-6 months
4. It would be best to repeat an LFT anywhere from between 4-8 weeks. This would give your liver enough time to recover and normalize, if of course the cause/stimulus has been removed
I hope this information helps you sir. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help you.
Best wishes.
