Hello just as a little background I am 27 year old healthy male. I workout 5 times a week. Have been an athlete all my life. Do not smoke and drink socially on the weekend. I am sexually active but nothing crazy. Long story short about three years ago I had a very traumatic experience. I went to get tested for STDs and it came back that I had the antibodies for Hep C. I was obviously ripped apart by it and by the grace of God my body had fought off the virus but I still have the antibodies for all I know. I still to this day do not know where I could have been exposed. Never used drugs. Anyway after this experience my mind was obviously a little shaky and I already have anxiety and this just paired with that was a bad combo. Ever since the experience I have had a hard time keeping an erection. I have dated about 3 girls since and I seem to go soft whenever we would go to have sex. I never had this problem before and I dont think it should be happening to a healthy 27 year old. Not going to lie when I think about sex now I think about what every person could have as far as an STD and my mind goes crazy and my body seems to shut down.

Basically I guess my question is has anyone ever experienced anything similiar to this before and found a solution? Also, sometimes I think I just need to see a professional. What kind of doctor/therapist should I go to?

Try to find a counselor who does cognitive behavioral therapy.  If you have insurance, check their listing of recommended providers or get a referral from your general practitioner.
