Probable genital HSV2 but strange symptoms. Proctitis and urethritis.

I (28M) had protected sex with a girl 16 days ago who told me she was GHSV2 positive. I knew this going into it but she seemed vigilant and informed. I knew there was still a risk despite the condom but I figured it was relatively low. We only had sex once.

6 days after exposure I noticed some anal discomfort. The only contact I had on my butt was her tongue for maybe a second. This anal discomfort is still going today but has not gotten worse. It’s just red/pink and a little sensitive and kinda burns a bit.

11 days after exposure is when I noticed a slight burning in my urethra. I investigated and noticed a tiny bit of clear liquid which is not normal.

These combined symptoms made me go to the clinic to get checked. They found white blood cells in my urethra and the anal herpes PCR came back negative. The doc gave me doxycycline to treat a potential bacterial situation but it’s been 48 hours and it does not seem to be helping. She swabbed for a few other things but those tests have not come back yet.

I understand this is likely herpes due to the timing and my hookup partner’s status, but the symptoms just seem abnormal. I have no lesions or ulceration and nothing seems to be causing the anal or urethral discomfort. The urethral discomfort is amplified when I ejaculate and my meatus becomes all puffed up and burns more than the baseline.

My only plan now is to get tested for HSV at 16 weeks post exposure but idk what to do in the meantime. Antibiotics don’t seem to work and I can’t just assume I’m clear just cause I don’t have lesions.

Kinda feeling hopeless. Any similar stories?

UPDATE: At 18 days post-exposure I got a urethral PCR swab done for HSV to see if the discharge was viral and it came back negative. Like another commenter mentioned, this doesn’t guarantee it’s not HSV since there was no actual lesion to swab, but I’ll focus more on prostatitis until I get a blood test later at 12 weeks.

Still experiencing the same urethral discharge and pins and needles there and on the perineum.
