If you did not have any unprotected intercourse after the sexually transmitted diseases tests, then you do not need to take them again. Any bacterial infection might cause the symptoms you described. Escherichia coli is just one of them and maybe one of the most frequent bacterial causes of urinary tract infections. It can not be determined exactly what bacteria caused this condition without having a urine culture and maybe a sperm culture with antibiogram.
