Possible STD??

I am a 19 year old male. I have had protected sex 3 times and have received unprotected oral sex three times within the last month and a half. I have had various symptoms in the last few weeks that are bothering me.

First of all, in the last 3 weeks I have moved onto campus at college, which I have heard may contribute to many of my symptoms... I frequent the gym to work out and my room is rather dry as I live in new england and we leave the windows open during the night...

First I started to get a little bit of redness on the head of my penis about the size of a dime. Nothing painful or anything, just looked like iritation from maybe running or working out.. It went away after a few days and I thought nothing of it until it came back a few later.. Never blistered or pussed, one day it was kinda a little flaky like dry skin but nothing like major...

I went to my doctor to see if there was anything he could tell me.. He didnt think it was anything so I went home.. A few days later, after urinating, I felt a little discomfort and had a clear sticky discharge come out. Nothing painful or discolored or anything... I have had this happen about twice after bowel movements or urination, but the last few have been clear with little white specs in them..

Went to the doctor again, got tested for Chlamydia and Gonnoria, and both were negative.. I was really freaking out about herpes, although my doctor said that the redness looked nothing like herpes...of course the symptoms are never really the same in everyone which is annoying... To ease my mind, as he could not conduct a test on the spot because there was no puss or anything, he prescribed me a ten-day supply of valtrex, which he instructed me to take for the time, and if the redness suddenly got better drastically, then maybe I might need to be concerned..

Well it got about 90% better after 3 days of usage, which didnt make me feel so great... I have had a few discharges since then, totalling five probably.. BUT now Im about 7 days into the pills and the redness is coming back....

Due to the various crappy resources online and the similar nature of all std and other problem symptoms, I still am bothered by this... Im curious if this is just due to working out, being in a new environment, ect... Like possible a male yeast infection? or a UTI, or something like that? Anything that you could tell me would be great as I;m sick of paying $20 to see my doc!!

Ok well its 11:25 the next morning.. No signs of anything today.. Got in the shower and the heat seemed to make the redness darker and the skin a little different looking, but now that im out everythings back to normal... Would herpes go away like within hours like it does? i thought it was like days or weeks for these things to come and go???

lol thanks for the help but I really cant rule out herpes... in the last 48 hours i have had discharge with about every urination with whiteness in it. the weird part is like in my genital area, it gets moist and like almost sweaty and feels like theres discharge coming out but if i look at it my penis head is dry.

everyday something happens that makes me feel better about it, and in the morning something happens that has made me feel worse... this really sucks... last night was a really long night, i went to bed about 9am, anyway the whole night i had that damp feeling and whatnot, no burning or tingling or anything, just like wetness, and this morning right on the head underneath the opening of my penis is a little raised up and white looking.. that is really worrying me because im thinking its like the beginning of a herpes blister....

anyway, the anxiety is like ruling my life once again.. i felt fine about everything until this morning when i saw this thing, whatever it is.. dont know if its just discoloration or whatever from being moist all night or if in the next few days this is going to turn into something from google images.... any thoughts?

hmmmmmmm well u probably have urethritis from the blowjob u got, its none specific its caused by normal bacteria in the mouth, that would explain y u tested negative for chlamydia and ghonorrea. Forget herpes, u dont have it. Period end of that story ok? i suggest u take cipro 500mg 2wice daily and that should remove it 100% IF its anything, and no u dont need to worry about hiv nor anything else despite of what u read. Trust me on this dont worry about hiv nor any other std this is as worse as it gets urethritis which is caused by normal bacteria in the mouth. Take cipro for 10 days 2wice daily that will remove it if u have anything. Is Nsu none specific urethritis though if infact u have anything, buy the medicine and take it.
