I wish I could help, but after the extensive evaluation and treatments you have had, I simply can't speculate with any reliability at all. Based on that history, I have only two suggestions/advice at this point. First, you don't say what dose of metronidazole you were given. If only single-dose therapy, as usually used in women with trichomonas, that might have been inadquate if you happen to have trich. (Your negative tests for trich don't mean much; it is very difficult to diagnose in men, unless you have access to a research lab that can do a DNA amplification test for trich, such as a PCR test.) So if all you had was single-dose metronidazole, I suggest a trial of tinidazole (a newer, more active drug) for several days.
Second, assuming trich is ruled out and/or properly treated, you can be 100% confident you don't have anything you can transmit to a partner or that will cause a serious health threat to her. Nonchlamydial NGU or prostatitis have never been shown to be associated with any disease or serious outcome in men's sex partners.
And finally, you can be confident nothing bad will happen to you. Nonchlamydial NGU or prostatitis have no know long term serious outcomes for affected men either. No cancer, no infertility, nothing. When I personally see patients like you, my main advice is to just forget about it, live with the symptoms--which probably will ultimately go away on their own. But if this conflicts with your own docotors' advice, follow their guidance, not mine.
