Based on everything you have said, it might not be an STD at all! It might be possible that you are allergic to condoms! Here is some information that I found:
What symptoms appear if you are allergic to condoms?
First, it is important to know if you are allergic to condoms because of the latex or because of another reason. Some condoms contain spermicide, and this can be the cause of an allergic reaction instead of the condom itself.
If you experience symptoms each time during intercourse, try a different brand of condom, one that does not contain the most common spermicide, nonoxynol-9.
MD-Health indicates spermicide allergy is less common than latex allergy, but it can cause similar symptoms and may even cause painful blisters, swelling and abrasions in the genital area.
Fatal reactions to spermicide are rare but do occur.
Once you’ve eliminated other possible causes of irritation, it is time to consider the possibility you are allergic to condoms.
There are two types of latex condom allergies. Type I allergy, which can be life threatening and is known as anaphylaxis, is characterized by a sudden drop in blood pressure and unconsciousness. The other type of latex allergy is a delayed hypersensitivity reaction or Type IV allergy.
Symptoms of Type IV allergy, also known as a contact allergy, include:
