hi there thanks for asking this on HCM, the symptoms you are telling suggest of fungal infection. since you have already taken test for HIV and VDRL there is no other investigation needed at present for your complaint. if its a fungal infection you need to take a tablet of fluconazole 400mg and locally apply clotrimazole cream daily in night after washing and drying your groin region the itching will subside in a week.
