Can it be gotten rid of by regularly manually purging the semen?

Doctor: "some good news, your blood and urine are undetectable for Hantavirus. You're not cleared yet though. As part of our standard protocol for detection of any virus, I need you to ejaculate in this cup. "

Abstract When infecting humans, Andes orthohantavirus (ANDV) may cause a severe disease called hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS). Following non-specific symptoms, the infection may progress to a syndrome of hemorrhagic fever combined with hyper-acute cardiopulmonary failure. The case fatality rate ranges between 25–40%, depending on the outbreak. In this study, we present the follow-up of a male patient who recovered from HCPS six years ago. We demonstrate that the ANDV genome persists within the reproductive tract for at least 71 months. Genome sequence analysis early and late after infection reveals a low number of mutations (two single nucleotide variants and one deletion), suggesting limited replication activity. We can exclude the integration of the viral genome into the host genome, since the treatment of the specimen with RNAse led to a loss of signal. We demonstrate a long-lasting, strong neutralizing antibody response using pseudovirions expressing the ANDV glycoprotein. Taken together, our results show that ANDV has the potential for sexual transmission.

TLDR: The ANDV genome persists within the reproductive tract for at least 71 months. ANDV has the potential for sexual transmission.
Oh great
Now religious extremists (hello USA) have yet more ammo to again push for their bullshit stoneage religious laws against normal sexuality
Long live science, science WILL solve this issue, it's just a matter of time
The religious will just look at you being sick and say it's a punishment from their imaginary god
We need give this to Trump. Half his administration will have orally contracted the virus before the week is out
Does that mean it'll be found in waterways? lol
