Epididmytis worried- inflammation of testicles not going away for a month now, infection gone

I had an encounter with CSW in Kemya where i visited a chinese massage parlour. The lady rimmed me and then performed oral sex and then i had protected intercourse. After 3 weeks, i had burning sensation in urine and pain during ejaculation but had no discharge, no blood, no foul smell in urine. After a few days, my testicles began to hurt. I visited a urologist.He did physical examination and diagonised me with Epididmytis and also advised a routine urine test. My urine test showed no abnormalities. (My age is 43). He put me on to Paracetamol, (3*3 days) Urispas (3 * 5days) and Levofloxacin 500 mg (1- 14 days). I specifically asked him should i abstain from sex and alcohol during treatment and Doctor suggested I should go ahead my life as normal. I also asked him, if he feared an STI. He was categorical that he does not see an STI threat. After 3-4 days of medication, my burning during urination and pain during ejaculation went away, but still have a very mild pain in testicles. After 2 weeks of medication, very mild pain in testicle persists and have a very mild burning in tip of urethra occasionally. I revisited him and he examined me and said it could probably due to vericose veins and extended 250 mg of levo for 2 weeks (1 daily). Again i asked him my doubts about an STI and he confidently said no he does not see an STI. ( I have not told him about my Kenya encounter).

My question is : 1. can i rule out a STI completely or do i need to take some precautions and more tests?
                         2. Does the inflammation of testies take a long time to go?
                        3. How do i know i am fully cured and there are no side effects in future?
                        4. Is it reasonably safe to have unprotected oral and protected intercourse with a sex worker?

1. If you tested negative for STD's then see no reason to worry
2. I have heard that it can
3. You don't, you just have to trust the medication worked
4. Probably, but any unprotected encounter is your call, I will not support it.
