Undiagnosable

Okay for the past 4-5 months I have been experience "herpes-like" symptoms. (sensitive penis head, urethrits) however I have had THREE blood tests, all coming back negative for both HSV-1 and HSV-2.  Never any sores.  this all started when I caught chlamydia from having unprotected sex with a a female partner.  I noticed symptoms of painful urination and went in to the docs, got diagnosed, loaded with antibiotics that killed the clap and am still having trouble with this.  The reason I'm scared that it is herpes is because it is recurring.  I'll have sensitive glans and urethritis for a week or two and then have nothing for a few weeks and then it comes back.  Also, I received oral from a woman who later went on to tell me she has HSV-2 on her genitals but claimed she did not have it on her mouth.  I've also been broken up with by my girlfriend of whom I love 3 times over the expanse of the 5 months and after each time the symptoms flared up.  I've been to 5 different types of doctors.  The rheumatologist believes I have reactive arthritis (I'm also experiencing joint pain and scaly feet), however does reactive arthritis explain the reoccurring urogenital issues?  These past 5 months have been a hell on earth and the depression caused by this is getting unbearable. Please help!

I'd ask about this on the arthritis related forums and see if perhaps another male there can help you or at least commiserate with you.   It's also a very good question to ask at your next rheumatologist appointment too.

Thank you grace.  If anyone could explain why it goes away and comes back similar to herpes out breaks, I would be very grateful.
