Gonorrhea, chlamydia or NSU? I'm confused.

I am an attached man in my mid 30's from the UK with some questions for you. I hope you can help me.

Wk 1:Received unprotected oral sex from a sex worker for a few minutes (She said she was tested 8 weekly and negative)
Wk 4:I gave oral to a man for 2 mins without ejaculation who is also clean
Wk 5:I was tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia (urine), syphillis and HIV- All negative
Wk 8:I'd had a pain in the head of my penis so went to get tested somewhere else. I was fobbed off and told I didn't need testing.
Wk 9:I had a weird sensation in my penis followed by one bit of clear discharge before bedtime. I had: throat swabs, urethral swabs, urine tests, anal swabs and blood tests. I was diagnosed there and then with NSU and given 100mg of doxycycline to take twice a day for 7 days.
Week 11: I had some yellowy white, cloudy discharge when I urinated in the morning.
Today (2 days later): All tests negative at clinic.

At around week 7 or 8 I noticed a few blotches on my glans with lack of pigment. I have no idea what these are and neither do any of the Doctors. I plan on getting to see a dermatologist via my GP in the near future.

I've had vaginal and oral sex with my girlfriend until week 8 but nothing since. I have no doubt that my girlfriend only has sex with me.

Now for my questions:

1): Is it possible I have given my girlfriend chlamydia or gonohhrea? The health worker said that it's not necessarily true that my NSU wasn't caused by her having either of them in which case I must've given it to her and my NSU was actually undiagnosed chlamydia or gonorrhea, twice.  I'd like to know if she's at risk of having either? I really thought that if I had confirmed NSU and not gonorrhea or chlamydia then she also can't have them.
2): If Herpes is the cause of my NSU (and white blotches) wouldn't it hurt?
3): Am I out of the woods as far as syphillis and HIV go?
4): Is there anything else that could cause my symptoms?

I'm at my wit's end.

Thanks Vance but I'd still appreciate Jesse's answers as I believe more opinions are better than one.

The Doctor's response is still not crystal clear whether I could have infected my girlfriend with Gonorrhea or Chlamydia.

Thanks.

If you paid to ask the Dr's then let them answer, as they have more knowledge then we do.

Thanks very much Jessy. I realised I'd possibly posted in the wrong section and have now paid to ask the docs.

Please expand on your answer to question number 1 when you said I was "pretty much" correct.

I have had a few experiences with the same guy but it has always been very safe before this last time.

Another question if I may; how long should I expect my symptoms to last?

I have learned a lot from this whole experience. I will not be going after cheap thrills again. Sometimes I wish it wasn't so easy. I love my girlfriend so much, hence the anxiety. I am still getting slight irritation and a little discharge which isn't helping.

Hello

Okay forget about week 4 exposure that was just about ZERO risk for everything.

1) forget gonorrhea, and its even more rare that you could have given her chlamydia.

   You are pretty much correct that if you confirmed non-chlamydial-NSU and NOT gono or
    chalmydia then she can't have either.

2) Yes, it usually is painful.  What you describe does not sound like genital herpes.
3) Forget about HIV, zero risk for wk1 and 4 exposures.    You are at low risk for syphilis in general, this pathogen is prevalent amongst MSM (men who have sex with men).  If what you describe is your only MSM  experience, then I don't think you need a syphilis test.
4) nothing I could think of ---non-chlamydial NGU is right on consistent with what you describe.
