Is Lower Abdomen Discomfort, Burning Sensation In The Penis Sign Of HIV And STD?

I am very worried and don t know what to do. Please I need some advice. 3 weeks ago I received unprotected oral sex from a sex worker. 2-3 days later I had a strong urge to urinate, there was no pain when urinating, but some burning in an around the head of my penis during the day. I saw a urologist and he diagnosed prostatitis. He prescribed Ciproflaxcin and doxy for 2 weeks. I finished the course and didn t notice a change in my symptoms. I revisited and he said he doesn t think i have an std and not to worry about it. I have been getting a dull pain in my left testicle and at time some lower abdominal disconfort. I am now feeling like I m getting sick, I have a sore throat and a headache. My body feels weak and my muscles ache. Do you think I have an std, and should I get tested? I am worried about hep b and HIV infection. I know my body well and I can tell that something is very very wrong. Please help
