Worried about possible HPV infection

About 3 months ago I had unprotected sex with a girl that was diagnosed with high risk HPV. I didn't think much about it at the time but about one month after, I started getting itchy rashes all over my body and pelvic/groin area (I know this is not a common symptom of HPV). It went away but then I started to get a funky smell from my urine and my stream was very weak shortly after. I had mild discomfort in my pelvic area when sitting down but that went away after a week, I thought it was a UTI. 2 months after the encounter I started having itchy red bumps all over my hand and the funky urine smell came back with mild discomfort. I'm also pretty itchy around the stomach and pelvic area. The girl said she had the same symptoms as me (itchiness and bumps) and that it went away after 8 months. I ran a STD test at the doctor about a month and a half after the encounter and everything came back normal, obviously HPV can't be tested in men. What do you think?

I don't know, man.  That's in interesting array of symptoms.  It's good your STD test came back normal.  I'm wondering if you could have a combination of unrelated things and/or some psychosomatic symptoms being created out of nervousness from the high-risk HPV exposure.  I know from my own HPV journey just how powerful our brains can be when dealing with anxiety and fear and whatnot.  Hope you learn some things!
