It's time you consult a Urologist! You sound like you have some prostate problems going on there expecially with the high white bloodcount in your Urethra! Go get checked for Prostasis. Herpes isn't going to give you burning testicles...
This has been going on long enough that herpes antivirals probably aren't going to do much unless you are interested in starting suppressive therapy to protect a partner. A herpes recurrence has just about run its course by now.
The vast majority of folks who have hsv2 have no idea until tested. If your provider hadn't thought to check for it this time, you'd probably continue to have no idea you have it.

Grace,
I've never had any classic herpes symptoms, is it possible I am one of the people that is assymptomatic?
They didn't do any blood tests for herpes or give me antivirals. I am going to go back and tell them to do that.
The NGU still seems to be on and off with the pain, most of the pain is in my testicles now though. I've also had strong feelings of warmth from my testicles and scrotum area. I holding out hope that the PCR test was lab error but you're probably right that I had herpes for a while. Thank you again.
I don't know, whatever you have going on there isn't from herpes but of course you could have gotten it like Grace said from sometime before.. Over 3 weeks and burning etc, that's not herpes...
A pcr swab looks for herpes dna. It won't detect herpes dna unless it's there to be detected. Does that make sense? So yes if you had an urethral swab for herpes and it came back + for hsv2 that means that you are infected with hsv2 and are actively shedding the virus. Did they do a herpes blood test at all yet on you? It would be unusual to contract hsv2 from oral sex so my assumption would be that you had it already and didn't know it and the oral sex gave you a ngu infection and it's triggered shedding of a previous hsv2 genital infection that was detected on the swab ( if you are a googler then look up herpes urethritis and I think you'll find that you match the symptoms ). Did they give you herpes antivirals to take the herpes part out of this?
If you have a regular partner they need a herpes blood test too.

I am not sure what you got going on but none of this sounds like herpes at all!!! I don't know what you got going on there but herpes isn't going to last this long either.
