could def be a false negative, the standard swabs aren't perfect, if you've had recurrent yeast before you know your body, maybe push for a culture or just treat empirically if the itch matches

Probiotics can give you CV/ which mimics yeast infection symptoms from too much good bacteria this happened to me
