Dear internet,
For anyone following my case my recent tests~14 weeks post exposure were negative for Syphillis(RPR), Chlamydia (IGG-ab), and HIV 1/2/O antibody test. Also routine blood and urine cultures were negative for aerobic/anerobic growth, but I am not sure if mycoplasm would show up in those cultures. Great news its none of the above!
I am glad that these tests were all negative and I wish I could put this behind me but I still have some persistent symptoms, so now I will look for other causes. The one I am most worried about currently is HPV. It seems to be spread very easily, there are many different strains, and it has been shown that at least 2 of the strains can cause cancer. And being a male I don't think I can get tested for HPV, at least it is not something that is routinely checked for in men.

It's true that doctors usually won't ask for an HPV test, you have to do this yourself. I am still waiting for my results (they did a tongue scrapping and took a sample to test for HPV due my tongue issues). I will report my results back.
Congratulations on your results!
