I don't wish to add further to your anguish but I have genital herpes although my swab tests were returned negative 4 times initially. They had to complete a blood test to determine an acurate result. The symptoms can lie dormant for many years before presenting themselves therefore it may not have been transmitted from your current partner if this is the case.
I also have recurrent thrush, which this sounds very much like, as this can appear as lesions, ulcers, scratches and red inflammation. Most people look out for a creamy white discharge to accompany these symptoms but I do not get that and nor do a number of people.
I also suffer with recurrent mouth ulcers and I generally get them both at the same time.
It is definitely worth further investigation although I agree with Anna that it could also be a number of other factors.
Look after yourself, eat healthily, exercise and try to eliminate stress if you can, although I appreciate how difficult this can be.
