which STDs can cause tiny red bumps on the tip of the penis?

RNM

I've been tested repeatedly because I've had painful urination. Everything always came back negative until recently (got diagnosed w/ a urinary tract infection).

I was concerned I also had something viral like HSV but my blood tests and urethral cultures were negative for this (note: I'm still concerned I may have gotten a false negative on this). I had flu like symptoms and some tiny red spots on my penis approx 8 days after getting oral from a new girl.

Assuming an STD is causing my UT infection (maybe chlamydia), what can be causing tiny painless bumps on the head of my penis, as well as abnormally-wrinkled skin on the tip ?

CORRECTION

I meant to say I got a *blood test* for HSV and HIV on March 8  (not a swab... the first test was a swab.... both neg. )

The bumps and wrinkly skin appeared approx. 2 weeks after getting oral sex from a new partner (one time thing); this encounter was in mid-January, I got tested for HSV via swab as soon as I felt symptoms (approx 10 days after exposure), and once again around March 8 (so maybe 7-8 weeks after exposure).

I got a message from my doc saying my urine test had high levels of bacteria (but he didnt say what) and he left my a scrip for norfloxacin , which i just started yesterday. Previous urine tests had shown nothing, and previous swabs were also negative.

Just wondering though ; which STDs *could* possibly cause the tiny bumps/wrinkly skin which hasnt gone away since it appeared in late-January ?

How were you diagnosed with a UTI?

How long after your exposure did you blood test for herpes?  How long have you had the bumps and wrinkly skin?

If your repeated chalmydia tests were negative, then you don't have it.  You need to move on from that.
