So it's randomly started to burn a little when I pee, but there are no other potential signs of an STI...
Should I go get tested right now?

It might be something new in your diet. Every once in a while I get a random burn but it's very slight, but enough to make you wonder. Then it just disappears. If it's just a slight burn and doesn't happen all the time I wouldn't worry too much about it myself, but I am not a doctor and I think we are own best Dr's, so trust your instincts.

Absolutely get tested and the only reason I see you not getting tested if you don't have Insurance, even in that case if you are a student you can go Student health center or a State Run Hospital and get tested for free. An Urgent Treatment Center shouldn't charge you more then $ 50 for Urinary Testing.
There is no way to know until you give a little more History : Did U bang a Shank in the last week rawdogging .... Do tell , Does the Urine Smell really bad ? Cloudy in color ? Any Pus ?
If it is a UTI, it's a Simple fix with Antibiotic which if left untreated can lead to more severe complications, Not trying to scare you but you shouldn't take it lightly when it comes to health of the sexual organs.

It is very unusual for a male to get a UTI, I doubt it's that.
You should go get tested for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV at the minimum. (Not that it's likely you have HIV, but it's worth checking because it's a cheap test and it makes a huge difference if it's positive. It's a standard part of most STI screens.)

Clinics near me are quoting prices of like $200 for 8 panel tests? Now I know it's hard to put a price on piece of mind but I can't do that right now (nor anytime soon). Looks like it's time to call health insurance and see how that works with this.
Will post my experience in case anyone else is in this situation and doesn't feel like asking these questions to anyone who knows their real identity.

I am a student but my fucking Baptist ass school doesn't do these tests. There's a state clinic that charges like $10 for blood tests... I'm about to get my happy ass down there. Thanks for the advice!
Yes I was raw dogging the fuck out of some pretty decent tail my last few days in Berlin, then had a bout of breakup sex when I got home and the curious, slight burn has begun since then. I've read a rapid change in sexual habits can cause this as well as not peeing after sex but I really don't want my dick to rot off. Thanks for the advice, I'm going today!

I've been to STD clinics several times and never tested positive for anything.
After sex sometimes you can just have irritation which can make it feel uncomfortable to pee and make your dick hurt a little.
Once a nurse actaully laughed at my mild symptoms. I asked if it could be gonorrhea or chlamydia and she was like "Well I don't think so, usually when people have those diseases they come in losing their shit with their dick leaking green discharge and feeling like their dick is on fire."
So I mean, definitely go get tested if you ever feel something is wrong, but just... don't fucking freak out over a little discomfort.

Nurse: "Lol your probably fine"
Dude: "Cool so what's your Thursday night like"
