Being nervous is to be excepted.  But getting the answers will let you know what to do next.  A plan of action is always the best.

There are most certainly low cost or even a free clinic in your area. Call your local health department to find out.

So?  Its been on going for 2 years.  My understanding is this is constantly been going with no break.  If thats the case its outside of Herpes bud.  Herpes lasts for 3 weeks max goes away and then may come back later time.  IE: You don't have a constant pain when you pee for 2 years if you have herpes.  You have something else.  

Tell you what you can do.  Go to your doctor.  Get a type specific IgG blood test done.  This will show your Herpes Status accurately for this sexual encounter and any others in the last 3-4 months.

We are not doctors on this form.  As I said it doesn't sound like herpes as herpes only lasts about 3 weeks then goes away to maybe return sometime later.  My suggestion is seek a urologist as they deal with that part of the body.  You may have anything from a UTI to maybe a kidney infection.  A professional evaluation is in order.

Doesn't sound like herpes.  See your doctor.  Herpes doesn't typically last longer then 3 weeks.  2 years is a long time.  Time to see that doc.
