One Week After Un-Protected Sex - Burning on Penis
So.... I messed up. Big time.
One week ago I was drunk and had sex with a girl I never met before. I initially put a condom on. At some point it was taken off and thrown down. I ended up having un protected sex (genius, I know.)
Here's where the really effed part is. I have a girlfriend of six years. We've both been tested clean and have un-protected sex regularly.
Two days after I had un-protected sex with the stranger, I went to the doctor and did a full STD test for everything. Cost an arm and a leg, but I wanted to know. I later learned that wasn't the smartest move at the STD's wouldn't show up by then. Everything came back negative.
The very next day, I noticed a burning feeling just underneath the urethra of my penis (right beneath where the head connects to shaft on the bottom side). It lasted almost the whole day. I kept looking at it, and I eventually started to notice slight redness in a circular form. It didn't look far from normal, but definitely was not normal. No pain when I urinated. No discharge. Just a slight constant burning sensations.
I went back to the same doctor who specialized in STD's. He originally thought it was urithitis (SP?). After doing a visual inspection, he kind of laughed and said it looked normal to him. I explained the pain seems to be at the skin level and not inside. He prescribed me Clotrimazole and said to use it twice a day. He told me, "I'm not even worried about that."
I left feeling pretty relieved.
I applied it, and it instantly increased the burning after application. I've since used it for two days and nothing has changed. If anything, the burning feeling seems like it may be moving around my shaft more than the isolated spot near the head. I've also noticed a slight burn sometimes during urination. It mostly seems to happen after I'm done urinating (my guess is from a little bit of urine getting on the part that's already burning).
I'm thinking of returning for a full std screening again and requesting he start me on anti-biotics.
My gf is surely going to suspect something if we don't have sex soon. This sucks. I'm depressed. I'm losing weight. The emotional load this thing has caused cannot be described. I'm never doing anything like this again. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you guys for the comments. I really did appreciate it.
Ironically, I woke up today and it feels better than it has in the last four days. It's still there, but far less than it has been and even went away for somewhat long periods of time throughout the day. I just hope I'm not getting used to it and therefore not noticing it as much. The last thing I need now is for my head to play games with me more than it already is.
No discharge. No foul smell. I have noticed two very small white spots in the burning area just underneath the head on the bottom side. These spots look almost exactly like ones around the head of my penis (which are completely normal). I honestly don't know if these were there before or not. They haven't changed in size and don't seem to be more sensitive than anything else.
It's been one week tonight since the un-protected sex. I'm going to the same doctor early tomorrow for a gono / chlamydia test. I prefer this doctor over the free clinic because it;s 100% confidential and he specializes in STD's. I'm paying a lot, but I don't care. I would pay thousands to just make this thing go away at this point.
This is seriously killing me. I haven't slept solid once. It's on my mind all day. I've lost like eight pounds in the last week. I'm not even eating more than one small meal throughout the day.
This is probably the worst mental state I've ever been in. This is terrible.

I just wanted to give people an update, and a reference to anyone who found this on google. Yesterday I went back tot he STD specialist. I told him the symptoms I have been having. He did a visual inspection and said everything looked fine. He told me he thinks it is all in my head. I insisted he do another test as the first one was within 30 hours of having un-protected sex.
The doctor could see I was obviously worried. I lost almost 10 pounds in a week from lack of eating. He inserted a swab into my penis and collected a sample. 15 minutes later, he looked at it under a microscope and confirmed what he thought... there was no infection. No discharge. No discoloring. He told me he would be sending the sample to a dna lab to confirm his findings, but he was sure I was fine.
Almost instantly I felt relieved. I left yesterday morning and didn't feel a single symptom the rest of the day - confirming it really was all in my head. It's crazy how powerful your mind could be. I never thought I would feel physical symptoms from being paranoid.
The HIV test he gave me was top of the line and would have seen if I was infected even after a day. I'll get retested in a couple months, but I'm not too concerned. I need to take the syphillis and herpes test in a couple of weeks / months, but I really do feel confident I'm fine at this point.
Thanks to the people who replied on here. It really did help. This has worked out better than I could have possibly imagined. I finally got a good nights sleep. My appetite returned. It's been two days and I have felt absolutely no symptoms since the doctors visit.
That was probably the roughest week of my life. I saw my entire future imploding due to a poor decision, which IMO, was much tougher than having friends and family pass away. Those things were out of my control. This was not. My lesson has been learned and I truly think I will be a better person because of it.

Hi, whats done is done and the best advise we can give you is to have a full std screening for your girls protection at the correct window period as below:
1. Gono, Chlamydia, UTI-----5 days
2. syphilis-------6 weeks
3. HIV--------3 months
4. Herpes-----3 months
Again just to mention, a one time affair is not something to be overly worried about but testing would be recommended for your girls protection. This can be a very stressful time for you but just take a deep breath and youll get through this just fine.

Do you have any white discharge or blisters? Don't pay a dr, go to your local community clinic or STD clinic for a work up. Tell your girl you think you are being treated for jock itch and have medicine on your genitals so you buy some time.
