Is this an STD?
Hey everyone. I'm a 30 something yr old male who recieved unprotected oral from a stranger who wasn't my normal partner 3 weeks ago.
After 5 ish days I started urinating more frequently feeling I've had to go a lot. Like every 45 min-1hr. I can usually hold it a while longer. Well a few days after that, so a week after the incident, I started messing with the tip of my penis and felt like there was a watery clear discharge which I feel is still present today every once in a while. Feels like after I owe there are more drips of urine as well. I know a few is normal. It just seems like it's random.
I went to my dr 13 days after said incident to test for a uti since i was peeing so much and the dipstic test and culture was completely clear. No end. No sign of anything. Which I thought great that should rule out ngu as well. I asked them to send my urine in for additional testing for chlam and gonorrhea. They were done by PCR testing which is a naat test. Tests came back negative for those. After getting the results my Dr thought to put me on 500mg of cipro 2/day for a week to hopefully get rid of anything there.
I'm now on my last day of meds and seems like symptoms have maybe gotten a tiny better but not really. I've also been referred to a urologist but can't see him for 3 more weeks. I called my doctor back after scheduling for the urologist and asked if testing Could be been wrong. They said no. The urologist said possible bit if I want retested go back and see my family doctor. I don't want to question them anymore about testing methods because they've never steered me wrong before. As I sit here I have a few questions.
1. Could my test results be inaccurate?
2.Could I have ngu or chlamydia even though my tests were all negative?
3. Does having no bacteria or any white blood cells in a uti test tell me anything about std testing except that I don't have a uti?
4. Could my brain just be playing games with me?
5. Can I go back to resuming my sex life and not worry about infecting a regular partner?
Thank you so much for any info.

Hi,
1. pcr is a very accurate test and would trust the results.
2. chlamydia is not known to be passed from oral sex and with ngu the symptoms would be a white puss dischargge, burning while urinating or urethra itching.
3. if they test for things like gono then its accurate.
4. yes
5. other risk from unprotected oral sex would be herpes and syphilis so testing for them prior to being intimate with your partner would be recommended.
