HELP: 17 year old with uti/bladder/std symptoms but no answers

No doctor has been able to answer my questions about the following symptoms I am about to describe.

17 year old male. On August 1st I received oral sex from someone who has never been sexually active (and I also hadn't been sexually active before then). Around August 13th started getting a mild irritation around tip of penis which doc said was due to drying out from accutane, which I started taking in mid-july for my acne.

By january after finishing my accutane course, everything had progressively gotten worse, and I had frequent urination and slight burning during urination and just all around discomfort. Went to the doc in feb and got tested for every STD and UTI, everything came up negative but he put me on doxycycline. Took doxy & after a week I was having so much burning around the tip and within a span of 2 hours urinated about 15 times. Got off doxy and prescribed diflucan pill for possible yeast infection. didn't really help.

i went back to the doc and he took a fungal swab and did another urinalysis, both came up negative. then he did a urine culture and it came up negative too. then tested again for chlamydia and gonorrhea because of a slight stickiness around urethral opening. everything negative. now i'm on ciprofloxacin for possible prostatitis, and after 4 days i don't really feel improvement and i have to pee even more frequently than before.

Any idea what this could be? Could the accutane have completely messed up my urinary tract or bladder? Could normal bacteria from a person's mouth be causing these problems? Could it be prostatitis? This has been slowly getting worse for 7 MONTHS and I'm so tired of it. I'm going to college in 5 months and I'm 17 years old - I want to be able to be sexually active, receive oral sex, etc, but I'm terrified that I'll spread something. And not only that, I'm tired of having to urinate a lot and never really feeling fully satisfied after urinating

Actually, I take that back. I think my urine is fine. I got one of those yeast infection self-test things and I think the pH of my urine was around 7, which is apparently normal.

Any other ideas?

They haven't informed my of my PH at all. I was actually wondering the same thing. As a high school student & a growing boy I literally eat crap.

Any diet change suggestions that might help? I've heard cutting out sugar/dairy/wheat can help various problems throughout the body.

I wonder if your urine is too acidic.  Did they tell you your urine pH on any of your urine tests?  It could be there for you to look at.
