Mycoplasma Genitalum Help Please!
I separated from my wife in December of 2014 after I discovered she had been cheating on me. I am currently in the process of divorcing her. I live in a large city in China while she moved back to her parent's home town.
Four months after our separation, on, April 05, I had sex with a prostitute. I had never done this before and this is the only time I had sex in the last 11 months. About 5 days later I began to have pain in my testicles and lower abdomen, as well as burning during urination, itching in my groin, and urgency to urinate, however sometimes I feel I need to but can't.
12 days after infection (04/17) I completed blood tests and urethra swab samples in a STD hospital and three days later the doctor told me I was infected with Mycoplasma. He did not explain more, just gave me Doxycycline x 40 pills (one in the morning and one at night) I am unsure what the dosage was. My symptoms went away instantly but about two weeks later (05/06) the symptoms returned mildly.
I finished the Doxycycline and returned to the doctor on 05/21 and ran the exact same tests. This time, the tests were all negative. I told the doctor I still had the same symptoms so he prescribed Moxifloxacin 400mg x 12 days.
I have read a lot about this being the last line of defense and I became very worried as my symptoms only grew even worse as I took the moxifloxacin, including some aches from the medication. Extremely discouraged I returned to the doctor and did the tests again. Still no signs of an infection. He told me to visit a urologist.
At this point, I decided to go to an "International" clinic to get a doctor who could speak English. I am uninsured. I dropped my insurance to help pay for my legal expenses with the divorce. Yes, I know this is a huge mistake. The doctor I visited wanted to do an ultrasound on my testicles, and several other tests that would all be to expensive for me.
I realize I have put myself in an impossible situation. I'm also dealing with depression and have trouble sleeping at night. My only options now are, (A) to go to a Chinese urologist that I can afford much easier than a foreign doctor, or (B) to renew my insurance and go back to the international clinic. But I don't think it can be covered by insurance because it's a pre-existing condition.
I think the only test to see if this is indeed mycoplasma is a NAAT test which seems to be beyond my reach here in China and financially.
Any advice or council is so greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Can't really tell you much as you are having negative tests, going to have to follow up with a Dr and keep working on what is going on.
