Ureaplasma?

Hi,
I had unprotected sex with a girl about a month ago and one week later I had urethral irritation, plus a small amount of white discharge. It was EXACTLY like a milder version of a Chlamydia infection I had several years ago. I immediately went to a clinic (as did she) and received a one-off dose of Azithromycin. My discharge disappeared, however when both of our sets of tests came back EVERYTHING was negative (we werent tested for Ureaplasma though). Now, although the discharge is gone I still have this nagging feeling of urgency to urinate, even when my bladder is mostly empty. Because our texts were negative, because we took a course of antibiotics and because we are not seeing anyone else, myself and my partner have continued to have unprotected sex. My questions are:

1. Should I get tested for Ureaplasma? If this is positive, should I be treated again? Should she?
2. If I test positive is it my responsibility to tell other partners who I have had PROTECTED sex with about my result?

Many thanks

get well tested both of you as its back by looks of things,i hope not,test to high levelNAAT and PCR and the man do check the prostate as youve had it a while that could be where it now resides unfortunately and urine tests wont show a positive if thats the case.DRE and fluid wil tell u if WBC and infection,if thats the case get it cultured semen too,then a sensitivity test,u should do that for any pos test.go from there ,its a baseline to attack it from,if all thats neg so are you.

1. That is a rare infection, so should you be tested for it...maybe but I would rather have a discussion with a Dr 1st on symptoms.
2. No, protected sex is no risk.
