Hello there...I can understand your concern. White patches on the genitals need not always be sexually transmitted diseases. It can also be fungal infection, lichen simplex et atrophicus, vitiligo. You will need detailed clinical examination. Skin biopsy might alos be required if diagnosis is doubtful. So kindly consult a nearby dermatologist for further evaluation.
