Negative Gonorrhea/Chlamydia swab tests

[confused12589]

I have an exposure with a CSW 4 weeks ago, unprotected oral and protected vaginal.

By the 10th day, I have a tingling feeling in the inner thighs, more sensitive, and makes wearing the underwear and the pants uncomfortable. This continued for a week until it get a bit warm in thee groin area when I see a doctor. As a precaution, he prescribed Valtrex 500mg x 3 for 7 days. Since then, the tingling has stopped. There were never any lesions observed.

On the 22nd day. I have greenish white and black particles discharge from the penis with some blood and and a burning urination. In my panic, i drank lots of water that evening resulting in a frequent urination. not sure whether that aggravates it, the urination are accompanied by lots of blood. The blood stained urine with black particles eventually stopped after a few hours, when the water consumed was cleared and subsquent urination was clear fluid. The tip of the penis was sore/painful. I went back to see the doctor and he suspected chlamydia/gonorrhea, prescribing 1 week of doxycycline and an injection. He also took swabs for chlamydia/gonorrhea tests. I had fever the first day and pain at the penis stopped after 2 days. The chlamydia/gonorrhea tests came back negative. The doctor says that is possible even if I have chlamydia/gonorrhea since I shower/urinate before seeing him that morning and may have washed off the bacteria which needs time to rebuild the concentrations. Did I ever had chlamydia/gonorrhea?

I did a STD- full panel test on the 27th day and am awaiting the results. p24 antigen/antibody HIV test was negative. Based on the above, am I likely to have genital herpes?

Thanks.

...here, but the incubation period seems long for gonorrhea. Showering should not influence tests at all. And urination would have to have taken place almost immediately before if the results should have been influenced, in  with such profound symptoms. But given the treatment you received, we can only say that is sounds unlikely that you had neither chlam or gonorrhea on the basis of the tests.

nothing you've mentioned sounds like genital herpes going on.

it's not likely you contracted chlamydia or gonorrhea ( or any std for that  matter  ) from your encounter.

At this point I'd see an urologist for your symptoms.

The answer to your questions is that we don't know, probably not since you had a negative test.   The tests are pretty good, but not 100%.   The discharge was consistant with gonorrhea, but your exposure to gonorrhea was a low risk, chlmaydia you had no risk.  

Your symptoms don't sound like herpes.    You are inlikely to get herpes from your exposure.
