Question: I went to my doctor as I was having balanitis symptoms. He tested me for chlamydia and gonrhea and as a precaution put me on 4 weeks of doxycycline 100mg twice a day. I finished the dose on XXXXXXX 2nd. The tests were negative then. I am still freaking about it and I want to get retested. If I test for std's 5 days after completing doxycycline will it affect the results?

This is what happened. On march 8th I had possible exposure. I started noticing white dry stuff build up under my penis after about 10 days and just kept washing it for a few weeks. When it did not go away and after reading the internet I got my self tested for std's on April 15th. All tests came back negative. Then I went to see my doctor and he said it looks like candida balanoposthitis. He prescribed me Mycolog II cream to apply on the penis glans twice a day and once a day terbinafin. He asked me to do this for 2 weeks. I am uncircumsized by the way. After 2 weeks I stopped the medicine as doctor suggested and the symptoms came back. There was no white stuff but penile discomfort and forskin sticking to the head and difficult to pull back. I could pull it back all the way but it is not easy. Also if I masturbate it becomes really red. I also developed frequent urination. At this point my doctor tested for uti and he said it might be prostatitis. So he put me on doxycycline for 2 weeks alongwith flomax (tamsulosin) once a day. He also asked to continue applying the cream and terbanifine. After 2 more weeks the symptoms wont go away so I went back to him. He asked me to see a urologist. I have the urologist appt on XXXXXXX 17. My doctor asked me to continue taking the doxy for another 2 weeks continue applying the cream until I see the urologist. As I said the doxy 4 weeks dose finished on XXXXXXX 2. And I stopped applying the cream as it has steroid and I am a little scared of taking so many medicines. So I went back to test for all std's today. Attaching pictures and previous test results.

I take livothyroxin 150mcg and omeprezole 40mg. No other medications. I also changed my doctor and went to a new doctor. He said the same thing about the medications. Previous doctor did not take any swab to check for fungal infection. The new doctor has taken a swab and results will be back in 2 days. My previous doctor treated my wife too to be safe even though she did not have symptoms. We have not had sex since then.
