1. usually a dose of antibiotics is good enough to treat Epididymitis Orchitis
2. no one can tell for sure.. however so long one has unprotected sex the risk of getting STI/UTI is there..
3. i suggest u go back to see the doctor since the pain persist. he might suggest u to do other tests .. eg kidney stone or even a PSA test etc
4. it will depend on the nature of how one get the UTI ... u need to understand the cause of UTI first, if a UTI is caused by sexual activities then you can classified it as STI, other causes like kidney stone, prostate issue ,not drinking enough water are not STI related.
highly unlikely to be HIV....there are many reasons for pain in that area. only by checking and testing can u find the cause, most of the time there is a cure for it.

2. Is the UTI caused by my ex's blood?
3. After taking the Ciprofloxacin antibiotics prescribed by the doctor, I felt better but at night, I woke up feeling more pain. The pain was so bad that I couldn't sleep and had to put a bolster underneath my butt and stretched my pelvic to feel better.
4. Is UTI STD? I asked the polyclinic doctor but he said he isn't sure. He fast-tracked me to a urologist at SGH and I will know my appointment in 3 working days.
My family is worried I might have contract HIV god forbid. Anyone here has UTI before? Is it curable? Now I can't even sit or walk properly. My groin and back hurts a lot. Is it even normal to feel like this? I thought UTI only occurs in female and when it occurs in men, there could be deeper underlying issues. Seeking some advice on this. I never had something like this happen to me before. Very worried. Thanks.
