Some penile discharge and pain. Can this be Herpes?

I slept with a prostitute with a condom and a week later, I started feeling pain in the head of the penis.  I later started have burning and some itching.  I even felt some soreness in my testicles.  About 2 weeks after that, I had a little bit of yellow discharge when having a bowel movement.  And then a week after that, had some white/cloudy discharge when having another bowel movement.  I got tested 3 weeks later and everything came back negative.   It's been 5 weeks since it has happened, but I still have these symptoms.  Since I was protected, the only thing I can think of having is Herpes, and since I've read 3 weeks is too early for an accurate results, I'm really nervous that's what I have.  Could it be anything else?

this is not herpes.

no std only causes discharge with bowel movements.  

you had protected sex plus you had std testing which was negative.

at this point the only thing you can do is to continue to follow up on this with your provider. did they do a prostate exam on you?

definitely follow up on this for a more thorough work up. get a prostate exam done at this point and they might want to repeat your urine testing too just to err on the side of caution.

most of this sounds like it's a fungal infection causing itching more than anything.

many things besides std's cause prostatitis and you've already been tested for std's.

Thank you for responding Grace!  No they did not do a prostate exam, but the more I'm researching, the more it sounds like I have prostatitis.  What's making me nervous is that I started getting these symptoms a week after sleeping with a prostitute, so I have to believe that it's caused by some type of STD that's causing the prostatitis.  I worry everyday what I have because if I did catch an STD, then I'm capable of catching any STD, such as HIV or Hepatitis.  

Here are my full line of symptoms:
-mild pain at the head of the penis
-some burning, tingling and itching in the penis opening/urethra
-some soreness and itchiness in testicles
-some discharge, but only 3 times, each from having bowel movement
-I also feel some burning/itching around the anus
-Of course, some fatigue and loss of appetite most likely caused by plent of stress and anxiety.  

I also have HPV (Genital Warts from many years ago) and am uncircumsized, so these increase the risk of catching something.  I also shaved my genitals the day of me having sex, so I fear there may have been some really minor cuts, although I never did notice any.  The fact that I was drinking that night also makes me nervous that my blood was thin, causing more of a chance that something got into my bloodstream???  Again though, I did wear a condom, but all these other factors are making me nervous.  Is it possible that my anxiety/stress is causing this pain and I'm just creating it from my mind?
