You should get tests: For other possible causes of urethritis or urinary infection. If you are not circumcised, it's possible that you may have local yeast overgrowth causing irritation. Especially since you were on medication that would not cure all potential causes of urethritis or all sexually transmitted infection, you may need more tests and treatment. Avoid sex until your doc says you're OK, and partner treated.

You have persistent nongonococcal urethritis (NGU). Mention of moxifloxacin suggests you are aware NGU can be caused by Mycoplasma genitalium, for which moxi often is recommended. Your chlamydia is cured; it cannot persist after doxycycline and azithromycin, but M. genitalium could do so. If possible, get tested for M genitalium. But if testing isn't available, moxifloxacin is a good idea.
