Strange penile discharge, Tests negative so far. Advice?

July 28 2023. This is a long story please bear with me.

For my sexual history, I had a complete STD panel in February, all negative. I had two sexual encounters in April & early June, both protected. On June 29 this year, I hooked up with a partner I haven't seen in many years. In the moment we didn't use protection. They assured me they were on PrEP medication for HIV, but I began a month-long regimen of PEP for my own peace of mind. That regimen ended July 27. I also had a very brief encounter with a new person on July 9, about 10 minutes receiving oral which was interrupted and didn't finish. I also frequently masturbate using an oil-based lubricant

My issue, on July 23 I woke up with white fluid collected on the tip of my penis. I have never experienced something like this before. It didn't exactly resemble a wet dream. After cleaning, since then I've noticed that if I sit still a small drip will periodically leak from the tip of my penis. It appears clear, but I think if I go a long time (i.e. overnight) without wiping it will collecting into a whitish droplet. I can't say that there is pain or burning, but when I sit still there is a faint tingling sensation that I'm aware of at the tip. And sometimes a feeling like I need to urinate even if I do not. I have not masturbated since July 22 for fear of causing or aggravating an infection further.

July 23 I purchased a UTI test strip from the drugstore. The colors for Leukocytes indicated an active urinary infection?

July 24 There was more white discharge when I awoke. Possibly not as much as before but some could have wiped off while sleeping. A telehealth provider suggested a Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, and Trichomonas exam so I went to lab testing center and ordered those plus a urinalysis.

July 25 More discharge in the morning. Another UTI test strip came back in the negative range. Received results of previous days test, all STDs were negative and the urinalysis was in the normal range. I went to an urgent care and showed all results to a doctor. He said it was odd but with my symptoms so far he gave me one injection of ceftriaxone and a prescription for 1 gm of azithromycin. He also took a urine sample for another test for the same STDs, a urinalysis, and a urine culture to look for bacteria. I took the prescription as soon as I got home.

July 26 similar discharge in the morning, Minimal amount. clear dripping throughout the day

July 27 similar discharge in the morning, minimal amount. Took my final round of PEP. Received results of doctor-ordered tests: STDs negative, urinalysis normal, urine culture-no growth. 3rd UTI test strip, slightly seemed to give color indicating at least some sort of urinary tract problem.

July 28 (today) small amount of discharge in the morning, whenever I think the clear dripping has stopped I notice a tiny amount. Tingling, need to urinate sensation still present.

Does anyone have any input? I am trying not to wig out but my brain is going to all the worst places right now. I know I should wait at least a week to see if the antibiotics work, it has only been about 68 hours since I received them. But like the doctor said this is a very odd situation. I think I am past the incubation window for the most common stds, so if I had them I would have thought they would show on one or both of the tests. Should I request antibiotics for a UTI? I don't even know the wait time for a local urologists clinic but they usually won't take a new patient for days or weeks. I can't reliably tell if my symptoms are beginning to diminish or about the same as in the beginning. The stress is genuinely starting to get to me.
