Month itch after 3 yrs dx/bf waiting on sex/ support group

[cerul]

Hey community,

I'm wondering if you've ever experienced anything similar?  I'm 3 years into my dx and just started dating a nice HSV- guy.  For a month I've had this weird itch/pain that feels very different from an outbreak and there's a little bump, but I can't tell if it's an outbreak or not, and it's in a different spot than usual.  I've been withholding sex for a month thinking it will go away but it hasn't.  I wonder if it's (TMI) a cut from grooming or whatnot.  It takes ages to get a gyno appt in NYC and I'm scared he's going to leave me from having to wait so long.  Every day feels like a year.  What would you do?

Also does anyone know of support groups in NYC?

Can you go to a sex health clinic to get it swabbed?
