Welcome to the Forum and thanks for your question. I'll be pleased to comment. Apparently there was no penetration from the encounter you describe. If that is the case, there is no risk for STI or any sort. Chlamydia and similar STIs are transmitted only through penetrative sexual encounters.
I suspect that both your prostatitis and your wife's current problems are coincidental and NOT related in any way to the encounter you describe. Mis-perceptions about prostatitis being an STI are widespread and incorrect. Prostatitis is NOT a complication of STI. Similarly, while chlamydia can mimic the signs and symptoms of a UTI, most UTIs present in the manner you describe and there is nothing you have mentioned which raises any concerns that you might have given your wife chlamydia which is now mimicking an UTI. I would not be the least bit worried that you had an STI which you passed to your wife as a result of the dalliance that you describe. I see no need for testing at this time.
I hope that this information is helpful. EWH
