Swollen Meatus Help! (lips) - Bacterial, Fungal, Viral?

Hey there,

Long story short, I got a massage from a thai woman ended up recieving oral sex on 3/14.  Few days later penis started to hurt.  I have had chlamydia once before, so I went ahead and took Az 1.5g and 10 days of doxycycline.  Meatus then became inflammed.  Swollen to touch, pinching feeling in the tip, just doesnt look right.  Sensitivity is unbelievable, cant even wear boxers.  I went ahead and got tested a week later (3/23).

While waiting for my test I went ahead and took some more medication:

Cefitriaxione 500mg injection/another dose of Az 1.5g
Metrinadazole 2g orally/ 1 dose


(Fast forward 10 days later...)
Since receiving my tests all came back negative! I did take antibiotics (Az and Doxy) a few days before, so I could of had C or G, but I may have cured it.  Also it could have been a false negative, due to taking the antibiotics before, I spoke with a physician that said I shouldn't have done that. Penis still burning after while and after peeing.


The only thing is my meatus is still swollen.  Large amount of dribbling after urinating and it just sits there (I have been dunking my penis in saline solution to clear it out).  I do get some shooting pains through my urethra as well. My incident was on March 14th.  I tried masturbating once on March 22nd and it was excruciating.  I then held out the next 2 weeks, until the April 5th I went pee and I was waiting the dribble was when I noticed clear/white discharge that was sticky.

I freaked out and went right to the hospital to have a close minded doctor tell me I was overreacting and this was normal and it was most likely prostate secretion.  

After rejecting a culture to ease my mind, I ended up leaving with nothing. I went ahead and masturbated that night and it was better still very very sensitive.  I went ahead and took another dose of Azithromycin 2g and 400mg of cefifixime.  

Meatus is still swollen and sensitive....Because of the large amount and length of antibiotics I have taken, I realize that it is probably Candida fungal at this point.  I am on oral flucuntazole at the moment and am praying this will help. .

I saw another doctor in the meantime and she wants me to take moxifloxcin for 5 days 400mg and then follow that with levofloxcin for 5 days to clear and UTI or bladder infection.  Moxi is successful with mycoplasma, ureaplasma, or chlamydia that may have spread to GI or prostate, hopefully. Also I am in SE Asia, supposingly mycoplasma as well as chlamydia have strong resistant strains out here.

Please let me know your thoughts and any suggestions.  I still have the pain but pray it will go away soon.  I will be back in the U.S tomorrow and plan on seeing my GP.  I just switched insurances, so this is my first time seeing him.  Cant wait to see the look on his face when i tell him.  I have had prostate problems before

1.) Do you think this is a UTI?
2.) Any suggestion that it could be STI in prostate or bladder?
3.) If it is fungal, how long should I be on fluconozole... how long should it take to clear up.  
4.)  With all the antibiotics I have taken, is taking a swab test for bacteria or fungus even worth it?  I know to get accurate results one should be off antibiotics for 2weeks-3months.  

But please let me know anything that may help!

Thank you,
