Hi there Jaylen!

If its colorless and odorless, and you have no signs of STIs this is probably the clear fluid (mucus) that is produced to protect the inside of your urethra, and is usually not a noticeable amount and so it often appears to be part of our urine and people don't notice it. It sounds like it has recently become more noticeable for you, but unless you have any other symptoms I'm thinking that's probably what this is.

I know I experienced something similar at a similar age, and after seeing the doctors about it, and being told what it was, I had to conclude "This must be another one of those things that happens to some people, that nobody tells you about, but they really should!"

I hope this helps!

Hey there, Jaylen.

It's very unlikely this is anything to be worried about, but since you have gone in for testing so many times, is this something you have ever asked your healthcare providers about? If not, why don't you just make a note to yourself to ask them about it next time?

(Mind, if you're not sexually active with more than one partner in a given year, I will say that it is highly unlikely you need to be testing as often as you are, particularly if you are also engaging in barrier use. Once a year is usually enough for most folks who don't have or haven't had multiple partners in that year.)
