Burning when urinating, but negative for STIs & UTIs

I've tried to do a lot of searching before asking, but can't pin this down.

I had not had any type of sexual contact for 8 months.  Then, the week before Christmas, I had anal sex with a guy I didn't know when the condom broke.  I was the top and he said we should just continue -- he said "I'm clean..."  I now say "I'm stupid..."  I have not had sex with anyone since.  I will not ever have unprotected sex again!

After about 7 days, I noticed a burning sensation while urinating.  I went to my County's STI clinic.  The nurse thought that I had Chlamydia and had me take Doxycycline for 7 days.  The burning went away within a few days and I continued the course of Doxycycline.  When I called two weeks later for my results, I was negative for chlamydia, syphilis, and gonorrhea.

The burning returned later that week which was 4 weeks after sex.  I went to my doctor and she did a urine analysis.  I called yesterday and they said that nothing had grown in the culture so I didn't have any UTIs.

[I don't think it matters, but I have had a sore throat the last three days and I just tested positive for strep throat a few hours ago.]  I have also have little rash dots on my abdomen and a few other spots on my body, but I think that it's related to the strep.

I was also tested for HIV antibodies 12 days after to establish a baseline and again at 31 days; both negative.

I have a purple bruise line on the glans, but no bumps, blisters, or ulcers on or in my genital area.

Could the burning be caused by a herpes ulcer in my urethra?

Thank you all for the excellent & informative postings on this site!

Herpes questions please post in the herpes community.

You can pick up a lot of different bacteria from anal sex. So while not a UTI, I would bet maybe ecoli or something like that. I would follow up with your Dr.
