The only thing I’d verify is that indeed the mycoplasma strain that was tested was indeed genitalium and not hominis. I’ve seen many urologists (including mine) test for ureaplasma and mycoplasma hominis thinking they were testing for genitalium because ureaplasma and hominis are known as the “genital” Mycoplasmas. If indeed it was genitalium, then I think 3 negative tests 1 month after ABX would be a pretty strong negative.

You should get a copy of all your tests so you know what you were tested for.
Also, when you do a urine test, make sure you haven't urinated for at least an hour before.
That's all I really have to add - badgerMG is far more knowledgeable about MG than I am.
You can order home tests for mycoplasma genitalium. Chances are they tested you for hominis. That rarely causes symptoms in men. You can literally put your first stream of urine (20 mL or so) the day in the sample, then put full ejaculate in there and send it off. MyLabBox has home tests you can do. Also make sure you are off of any antibiotics for 3-4 weeks.
All of you need accurate testing for mycoplasma done. This means First Void Urine only. Get your full ejaculate tested as well.
Anon YOU ARE LIVING MY EXACT LIFE THAT IT BLOWS MY MIND READING YOUR STORY! All your symptoms are pretty much just like mine, and they all started after I attempted to have sex with a female who has confirmed HSV2. I used a condom but it broke immediately and within 48 hours my nightmare began.
I have tested negative on every single STD test there is, and have taken the IGG for HSV 6 times over a period of 10 months and never once has it turned positive.
But I’m even more certain that it’s some form of herpes, because finally a small pimple like bump appeared directly on my upper lip not too long ago. For months it was only burning and tingling in my mouth area, especially after being out in the Sun for long. And i would get little bumps around my mouth but never right on the lips. So they could’ve just been pimples, But I’ve never had bumps ever appear on my actual lips like that before in my life as long as I can remember.
Nothing has appeared on my penis, but the itching, burning and tingling sensations never truly stop. Anus itching comes and goes as well. But it usually all starts with back pain that tends to move around my testicle area as well.
Recently, my penis, anus and feet were all burning at the same exact time. I read that this would be related to something going on in the sacral region of the spine, which makes sense because that’s exactly where genital herpes hides.
I now truly believe I was infected both orally and genitally by this female, even though I never had oral sex with her. But we deep kissed before I knew of her HSV status. But all my symptoms definitely started after I met her. And I remember a strange dry rash appearing on my upper lip in the same spot the bump appeared when I first started getting intimate with her.
I don’t think doctors fully understand this virus at all, and that there are many like you and I living with these strange symptoms that go undiagnosed majority of the time. All I know for sure is that my issues all started after the sex attempt with someone who is HSV2 positive and they haven’t gone away since. I’ve looked and looked and looked but no other known STD can account for all my symptoms except for HSV.
I feel for you as I have been dealing with something similar going on 2 years now! No answers, I have seen several people post on here with similar symptoms that blood tested negative for hsv1 but swabbed positive genitally,
So... this sounds vaguely like thrush. I would look at exposures, change of diet, change of medication beyond what happened in the sleazy club. Also don't discount a yeast infection/athletes foot spread to groin. This typically is a burning itch and can smell bad when scratched. Lotramin Xx strength, used as directed OTC can't hurt to try.
A herpes test at 2 months would be about 70-80% (ish) accurate. I really don't think this is herpes. At 2 months, you'd have had actual blisters or sores with all this other stuff. Herpes doesn't just give you the tingling without an outbreak.
I'd say, at this point, do ALL the tests. Keep going until you find out what it is, and don't just focus on STDs. You don't know what happened - what if nothing happened, and you spent months on STDs and actually had no risk, and were missing something else?
Mono tests are pretty accurate, though they do have some false negatives - https://labtestsonline.org/tests/mononucleosis-mono-test
At this point, what will it hurt to try and find out?
I don't have any answers for you but your post interests me because I am in the same situation as you. tested negative for everything but still have lingering issues exactly like you. will be following up to see if you find an answer. Good luck.
So first - it would be helpful to know what your encounter was so we can narrow down what STDs you may have been at risk for. You don't need to go into graphic detail (and we really prefer it if you don't), but did you have oral, vaginal or anal sex? Was it protected or unprotected? Did you give or receive?
In any case, let's rule some things out.
You wouldn't have HPV symptoms this soon, and HPV wouldn't present this way. What did the biopsy results say?
Syphilis would present with a chancre sore, and it's painless. You also wouldn't have the rest of the symptoms you have.
Your HSV results aren't fully accurate, but are about 70% accurate at 5 weeks, give or take. Given that you didn't have either type prior to this encounter, you'd be more likely to have a true primary outbreak, which would be blisters and pain. That's not a hard and fast rule, but since you wouldn't have any hsv antibodies, you wouldn't have anything to help keep the infection in check to start, resulting in a worse first outbreak.
Your chlamydia, trich, gonorrhea, and HIV tests are all conclusively negative.
So this is for sure not HPV, syphilis, chlamydia, trich, gonorrhea or HIV.
Herpes - highly unlikely.
Ureaplasma and mycoplasma - maybe, especially mycoplasma as it's harder to find on tests. However, I'd expect you to have white blood cells in your urine. You don't mention that. Those wouldn't cause all your symptoms, either, unless perhaps you also performed oral sex on someone that you had intercourse with? It's possible to get strep bacteria in your urethra, for example.
Some of your symptoms could be caused by an inflamed prostate, which could be totally unrelated to this encounter. Have you seen a urologist?
Have you had any blood tests run outside of STD testing? Anything to look for signs of infection, blood counts, etc? Maybe even mononucleosis/glandular fever? Don't limit yourself to just STDs. You'll do a disservice to yourself and perhaps prolong your suffering.
What antibiotic did you take that helped?
