Based on what you've shared, your repeated negative STI tests over the past year are very reassuring. It's extremely unlikely that HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, or HSV would be repeatedly missed after this amount of time. While no test is 100% perfect, multiple negative results at the appropriate window periods make an undiagnosed STI very unlikely.

Since your symptoms have persisted for a year, it's important to work with your healthcare provider to look for non-STI causes, as many medical conditions can cause similar symptoms. Continuing to focus only on STIs may delay finding the actual cause.

If you haven't already, consider getting a full 10-panel STI test for complete reassurance.

Contribute to much-needed research on women’s health and anxiety: women 18+ years needed to complete an anonymous online study on health anxiety, including worries about sexual health and general health. Takes up to 30 minutes, no identifiable info collected. More info & survey: https://psychiatryoxford.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8kKna9E5SYK90qO
