Hi. Back in mid February 2020, I went twice to a strip club. During visit, I received unprotected oral sex in one visit followed unprotected oral sex and protected intercourses a few days later by other dancer. My partner and I have been quarantined together since March 2020.
Ten days ago, I started feeling like pinch or what feels like a blood vessel for a split second in my urethra when I push through and start peeing. However, once I start peeing, I can stop and continue the flow without feeling anything. I don’t feel anything when I ejaculate. Yesterday and the day before, I had a tingly feeling at the place in my urethra in question and I was stressing. Don’t have it today. I have no discharge, testicular pain or other symptoms.
Yesterday, I took a urine test for Chlymedia, Gonorrhea and Trichomoniasis but have not received the results. Afterwards, I started treatment using Doxycycline, Cefixime and MetroNIDAZOLE.
I want to know if have I STD symptoms and if I would have had symptoms of initial infection back in February 2020.

Welcome. Thanks for your confidence in our services.
You really needn't worry: your symptoms now are not relted to the sexual events described more than a year ago. The answer to your closing question is yes: if you had been infected in February 2020, you would have had symptoms by March of that year. All STDs that could cause urethral infection would have been cleared by your immune system long before now. Gonorrhea in men is cleared within a 2-3 months, and chlamydia somewhat longer, but probably within 4-6 months. Trichomonas may last longer, but still very unlikely. In addition, the main symptom of urethral STD (urethritis) is discharge, often with painful urination; they don't cause the soerts of symptoms you describe. Finally, the exposure described was virtually risk free.
I would have recommended against self treatment with any antibiotics and strongly suggest you stop them now. For the reasons above, your STD tests probably will be negative. If the symptoms persist, you'll need to see a doctor, and the antibitoics could interfere with diagnosing non-STD infections like a prostate problem or urinary tract infection.
I hope these comments are helpful. Let me know if anything isn't clear.
