UTI, STI, Herpes, or Bacterial Infection in Penis

A couple of weeks ago, I had a 1 time only unprotected sexual episode with a girl who’s had herpes (no sores and not during an outbreak) for about 8 yrs. It was brief, I entered her vagina literally twice and stopped.  I attempted to have unprotected anal sex her. After multiple attempts of trying to fully insert myself but failing I gave up. The next day the tip of my penis felt  sensitive to the touch of anything (even rubbing against my boxer shorts) there was no burning or stinging at all even while urinating. However there was some discomfort and a little pain in the penis shaft (urethra). I was tested (urine and blood) and it came back negative for everything. The next couple of days I continued to feel the same discomfort, my urine was tested but again came back negative. The doctor treated me for Gonorrhea and Chlamydia with a week supply of meds. Currently 2 weeks later, The pain is gone but I am now worried about the possibility of contracting herpes. What would the chances of contracting herpes from this short one time exposure. I’m fully aware that the initial herpes test was done too early.

It's always a possibility but in light of no symptoms, I would not be overly worried.  You can test to be sure though.

Yes, I am hoping for the best that I did not contract it. It’s now 23 days (3 weeks) post encounter and I have not had any symptoms. I went to a clinic this past weekend and had a urine test done... it was negative for anything that could have been detected. The doctor said she does not recommend herpes blood testing without any symptoms. But I think I’m going to have the IGG blood test done in a couple of weeks for my sanity.
