Lesions in Urethra

Around Mid-October I had unprotected oral with a girl.  About 10 days later I had discomfort at the top of urethra.  The tip was red, swollen, and a very small amount of white/clear discharge (really small and I only saw it a couple of times).  I went to the doctor and was treated for gohnarea (a shot) and clometia (7 days of dox).  Half way through treatment it got more painful to urinate so I went back for a second treatment.  This time he took a blood test and gave me a Zpac.  The test came back as a low positive of hsv-1 but symptoms went away after Zpac.  I never had any lesions and a tingle was felt for another couple of weeks.  The tingle eventually went away too.

Now (2 months later), the tingle came back with a very small amount of swelling. Again, no lesions and symptoms are not anywhere close to what they were the first time.  Feels more "hot" than painful.  When I do research and look at pictures, everything suggestions lesions and bumps.  I have neither.

Question:
1. Is this hsv1 without lesions? Or lesions inside of urethra?
2. Could this be a UTI that never went away?
3. Is this viral shedding? If so, how long does it last?

Thanks for any help.

Hi since first time outbreaks would be at point of contact it would not occur inside your urethra but on the shaft or pubic monds so you can rule that out from a recent infection and sores inside your urethra would be extremly painful every time.  What your describing could be from your constant touching your penis tip looking for things. Also some times there is nerve damage inside your urethra from std,s like Gono but this is rare.
