Single, mid -30’s guy. I know this isn’t the right place but if there are any guys around my age that want to chat about what we’re going through, I’d be open. I haven’t told anyone as I’ve pretty much stopped having sexual intercourse. Worth a shot I guess

You don't have to stop your sex life. Just be cautious and careful. Obviously if you find a long term partner let them know but a condom is enough to prevent spread. As a woman I have not idea what it feels like for a guy. But I was only 19 when I found out. I'd literally slept with 2 people who refused to get tested when I told them. So emotionally I feel you. Physically. It sucks. But there's meds if that's a viable option for you. If not. There are other options for pain relief. Hope you're doing OK.

You're not alone. I stopped making love to my wife. Maybe I should explain this a bit.. I worked with a bunch of filthy ass people from the city for 8 months and by some stroke of fate contracted it from one of them. Maybe dicks on the toilet seat, I can't imagine how I got it. How I got it is irrelevant at this point.
Just be honest and deal with it like you should. I would never goad my wife into a situation where I would infect her. If you really want to, first of all, eat healthy and exercise often. Then take antivirals appropriate and try your best to minimize the virus through food. The last line of defense is a condom and it's in my opinion not a line of defense unless you are willing to gamble.
Since you're single, seek other infected. Then no harm. It's not like you have the plague or anything. It's literally irrelevant for me. I know I have the virus but I can't tell at all day to day and I've had it since mid 2016. Thanks you filthy NY'ers..

Hey. Its not only "filthy" people who have the virus. That's an awful stereotype.

Hey there, just wanted to let you know that you can't get it from the toilet seat, or anything that isn't skin. There has to be skin to skin contact for it to be spread, and you might have been diagnosed or showed signs in 2016, but that doesn't mean you didn't already have it years prior. As far as I know there isn't a test to let you know how long you have had it. It's hard to find out when you are with someone who doesn't have it, I've been there and in my case I blamed him for it, now that I know different, I probably want cautious with someone before him. So don't blame your coworkers. So, if you had it since before your marriage, your wife should get checked too. And don't stop having sex with her, I know it sucks to think you're going to give it to her, but she probably already has it or is immune to it (some people are).
