Hi. I received oral sex on 5th March. Feeling stressed about it I went to the gum clinic 14 day post exposure and got tested for chlamydia, gonorrhoea and syphilis. They also done a dawn test that came back clear. I also got tested privately 18 days post exposure.
About 1 week after tests I went back to clinic as feeling a little weird in penis. Another swab test done, came back slightly night white cell count. (Only just over). I was given 7 days doxycyline. Took the meda and they did nothing so tool 1 gram azthrimicin. Again, this done nothing. Waited 2 weeks after taking azthrimicin and went back to the clinic. Spoke to doctor about continuing symptoms. Another swab test taken, this time came back within normal range although he did say that there were a few white blood cells still there but in normal range <5 wbc.
I was still very stressed about this so I waited a further week and got a test done for mycoplasma Genitalium and UU by PCR. Results came back negitive for both. Was wondering about hsv1 but I don't and never have had any blisters on penis. Also, my wife has cold sores and I have never had any issues.
It is now post 6 weeks since symptoms started and still no relief. Worried that I might infect my partner despite negitive for all std.
Any advice would be most welcome.
Thanks

Not really, Mot, but thanks for asking.
I have tested negative for big 8 STDs. I trust those tests.
I tested negative for trich. I think I trust that test.
I just got a urethral swab and gram stain was zero bacteria.
I get results of urine culture tomorrow. We'll see about that.
I chose not to do test for ureaplasma and mycoplasma because I could have them anyway, and what does my mind do if it comes back positive?
My primary symptom is a strange pain on right hip/groin/top of scrotum. I have been evaluated for hernia, prostrate issue, and epididymetis-all negative.
I can't explain the pain away. The post-sexual-thing timing makes me wonder, of course.
On the other hand, Vance and my docs have told me no chance based on exposure. I went to Terry Warren in Portland Oregon the other day and she said no chance.
I honestly felt better after that and didn't feel the groin thing as much. I am at a slow moment at work and got on medhelp for first time in a day and a half and I have to admit my groin hurts more. That's an argument in favor of anxiety, huh?
I wish you the best. I don't think you have anything, buddy. Gotta let it go. Like me.

Nguworries. Did you get your problem
Sorted in the end?

Waiting for results. Will post back as soon as I get them. Had to send off for private pcr tests as nhs do not test. I am also going to retest for mycoplasma genitalium, UU, chlamydia, gonorrhoea, herpes, gardenellla, and trich. That should rule out all the std that it could be. I am confident that it's not chlamydia or gonorrhoea based on 2 previous tests. Fairly confident that it's not mycoplasma genitalium since last test was negative. Not concerned about UU since that is part of normal flora in most people. Chances of trich are minuscule as is not carried in the mouth.
It's weird that this all started after a fleeting oral exposure. I should also mention that I also had unprotected anal with wife a couple of days later. I am starting to believe that this could be the cause. It just seems strange that I got a swab test for ngu 14 days post exposure to oral sex and it was completely clear. Having read many many posts on expert forum, they say testing for ngu is accurate 4 to 5 days after exposure. I had another swab redone 3.5 weeks post exposure. That's when they said ngu.
When I went back to the clinic last week I actually spoke to the consultant. He said that he would not have treated me when they diagnosed me with ngu. He said that I was only slightly over 5wbc. And without discharge I was between 5 and 10wbc. He said he only treats when it is above 15 to 20wbc.
I have had 2 swabs done since diagnosed and they have been normal. I have never had any discharge. My only symptom is a slight irritation at end of urethra and sometimes a feeling that I need to pee. I do have some other diffuse symptoms. Right testicle/groin area feels a bit weird. Pains in and around rectum and down back of thighs sometimes. Had prostate checked by doc. Said seams fine. Suppose it could be cpps as I am constantly tensing up my buttocks and legs. Must have an effect on pelvic muscles.
Will let you know how I get on with testing.

Did you ever do the trich test?
Maybe counseling?
Can anyone help me.
