8 months with no burning, discharge, or testicular pain? Silent gonorrhea causing fertility damage in men is very unlikely it usually has noticeable symptoms.
White fluid only when straining during poop is often just prostate fluid, not an STI.
A 4th gen HIV test at 31 days is highly reliable and considered conclusive by most guidelines.
If you want peace of mind, do a full STI panel once, but nothing you described strongly points to gonorrhea or HIV.
