UTI symptoms for 3 months

Three and a half months ago I had a first encounter with a girl I was dating who told me she had HSV1 & HSV2. She said her herpes infection was asymptotic and her infections were only discovered upon a test. I also did not see anything to suggest she was having an outbreak during the time of our encounter (but she mentioned she didnt take any antivials either and I know shedding is a thing). I decided to move forward but wear protection. She kind of surprised me by going down on me without a condom. I should have stopped her immediately but it lasted for 2-3 minutes or so until I finally did stop her. We continued on and had intercourse twice (both times with a condom). The next couple days I felt like I was urinating a lot and had symptoms that were consistent with a UTI. Although I knew it was somewhat of a high risk encounter, I am one of the rare males that has had a history of getting UTI's unrelated to STD's). I also often find post sexual encounters that I have discomfort or develop a UTI from latex/spermicide in condoms. The only odd symptom I felt was some tingling and itching in the anus/prostate area, which I found a little disconcerting, but not enough for me to think it was concern me too much. I went to my doctor and got antibiotics for UTI and while it did help tremendously, it didn't seem to cure it completely. I was left with a feeling like I constantly had to pee, still had tingling and itching in prostate area, feeling of inflammation in the urethra (not pain, just discomfort), feeling like I couldn't control pelvic floor muscles and they would almost spasm and I couldn't fully empty bladder, very occasional lighting bolt of pain in the urethra and lastly no libido. The next week I went to the Doc to get tested me for STD's. He tested me for Chalymadia, trich & Gonnorhea and I tested negative for all of these (and they found no infection in my urine during testing). He didn't test for Herpes because I had zero "typical" symptoms (no lesions or sores, no redness or discharge, no physical symptoms on the penis or mouth, etc.). It's been three and a half months and I still have all these symptoms and still no physical lesions or symptoms of herpes. Is this likely to just be asymptomatic herpes or is that not likely? If not herpes, what else could it be? Anything I could do to try to control symptoms? I'm going to go back to the doctors to do a swab and more tests to figure this out, but can't get back in for a couple weeks and just thinking about it is driving me crazy. Feels kind of like prostatitis or urethritis or IC?

I battled a UTI after oral exposure. Mine like yours moved to the prostate. It took three rounds of different antibiotics to cure it, which then left me with balantis which I'm still battling. It can take a few try's to eleminate the infection as certain meds work on certain bacteria. You most likely have NGU

Joejoesmith - This would make the most sense to me too...but the funny thing is I tested negative for a UTI. Is it possible the test was just wrong? Does that happen?
My prostatis showed red blood cells in urine I'm not sure if it showed white blood cells commonly found in UTI's or not the doctor just said red blood cells found in urine. I'm not sure if red blood cells are tested with a routine UTI test or not at the doctors office I do know that home test kits only test white. Through my reading and research I have read that sometimes a prostate massage and fluid testing is done after the message to test also but can push the infection into the blood so they don't recommend it. From what I gather it can sometimes be tough to test. Just my opinion I'm not a doc.

This is most certainly not herpes related. Nothing you described is hsv. I would see a urologist
