NGU, HSV and anxiety after sex with escort

Let me start off by saying I hate myself for what I have done. but here goes. I had protected oral and vaginal sex with an escort on the 11th. 3 days later I began to experience a painful sensation in my urethra and the tip of my penis. I was very scared of the possibility of contracting HPV and HSV. I went to the GUM clinic and they told me that I am just anxious, so they done a swab and a blood test, and told me nothing is the problem.

But the problem persisted, I continued to feel pain at the tip of my penis, burning during urination, and an urge to urinate, so I went again today, and they told me that I had NGU. So they gave me doxycycline to take, and told me if it doesn't clear up within 2-3 weeks to come back, because it might be caused by the herpes virus.

I am very worried and scared, I can't eat and I can't sleep because of how much I think about the issue. I worry about genital warts and herpes popping up. I hope the doxycyline clears things up, but if it doesn't I will be even more anxious. I asked the escort in question if she had been vaccinated for HPV and she said yes, and then I asked her if she had ever had herpes and other STDs and she said she was clean, this comforted me slightly but I don't trust her tbh.

I don't know what to do..... Do you think it is possible that HSV can cause these symptoms? I haven't had skin lesions.

Everything points to a reaction to the rubber in the condom or any lubs or spermisides inside. Getting a penis tip irritation when using a condom,  the rubber is causing a friction irritation much like a rug burn. As mentioned before, first time herpes outbreaks appear at point of contact and since your penis was covered, the tip irritation is not herpes related.

They done a swab, and they said there was pus, and that there was unidentified bacteria. I asked them how it was possible that could happen because I wore a condom, and I haven't had sex in years, so it had to be that one time. They said that sex is messy and many things can happen. But they also said that it might be due to herpes, which confuses me, because they either saw the bacteria on slides or didn't. I am starting to think now that they only ever saw the pus.

Hi, since you had protected exposure, any penis issues your having, like urethra interior sensations and penis tip irritation would not be due to any std as it could not enter your penis, either interior or exterior.
And i dont know why they would tell you about an NGU either unless they think the inside of the condom gave it to you or maybe the condom contained spermacides that your allergic to or even the rubber material.
