Hello -

Following up with last posts (all build off each other). 

We've had two more protected intercourse encounters. Last time was last Tuesday. Two days ago I noticed some redness and pain near the left side of the vaginal opening. Yesterday I went to the gyn and she said she was uncertain and wanted to swab it. She told me herpes in the vaginal Mucosa doesn't have the same appearance as herpes on skin so It's harder to tell by sight. She said she saw a small red spot that she wouldn't have noticed had I not pointed it out. It was painful when she poked at it, which concerned her. Today it still seems red in the area and sensitive to touch. When looked at with a magnified mirror, the red spot in question does look like 4 or so raised spots in a circle.

I know the viral culture might be false negative - would you happen to know where/how I can find a Manhattan doctor who can do a PCR? My partner and i are over for other reasons, so I will eventually do a blood test. 

Thank you for your help
