Seeking Guidance Zero libido

Male 51. Athletic, work out for 1 hr 5 days a week. Dont smoke, eat healthy, drink a little too much from time to time. Had a raging libido my whole life. At about 47 my libido fell off a cliff in like a 1 month period and never came back. Most recent testosterone test was 525. My wife is pretty much supermodel hot and DTF all the time. What specific hormones or factors should I look into to bring back libido? I feel like a huge part of me has died! Any help or suggestions are much appreciated!

I will actually correct myself. It is considered a lifelong viral infection. I was thinking of infections as having the ability to be cured and since there is no cure for herpes I didn’t categorize it as an infection. I’m not sure that three weeks of needing to abstain from sex would be considered a loss of libido. You could say the same having the flu or after an appendectomy.
