Do I have an STD?

I am a 36 year old male. 9 weeks ago I had an encounter than ended in receiving oral sex from a female. A few days later I started to have a tingling sensation, like I had to pee, so I went to an urgent care and they gave me Cipro for prostatitis. I had an STD screen three days into my Cipro cycle and it came back negative. I completed the 10 day cycle of Cipro, had a 7 day cycle of Doxocycline due to symptoms persisting, and then had another test done 4 days after the completion of Doxocycline. All tests were negative.

I am currently back on Cipro after seeing a urologist. He was not concerned with STD as I passed two screens already, but I'm not sure of thier accuracy because of the meds I was one.

My questions:
1. Can the screens be accurate while on Cipro and/or 4 days after completing an antibiotic cycle?
2. Could I still have a bacterial STD after taking Cipro and Doxo?
3. With no pain or discharge and only the tingling sensation (before, during, and/or after urination or ejaculation) could this still be a bacterial std?
4. Could prostatitis persists this long, even after antibiotics?
5. Should I be concerned about STDs or just take the Cipro and continue treatment for prortititus?

Hi
1. yes they could interfer with accuracy but do realize that symptoms of std would be a white puss penis discharge, burning while urinating or urethra itching so what your describing would not be std symptoms also getting any std from oral sex is really a long shot and close to zero risk. also before getting your prostate infected you would have those symptoms in your penis first.
