You can post in the HIV forum but were probably given a warning for obsessive posting.
Last answer then it's time to move on...either seek a therapist for your anxiety or deal with it on your own.

HIV is not a risk when a condom is used correctly.

Thank yo vance for your reply. I cannot post in the HIV forum. i think HIV is also an STD and is relevant to the condom protection. So I would be grateful if you can give input with regard to HIV please.

I know I have to stop researching I know it is becoming dangerous :s

Think you need to get off the internet.

When condoms are used they are highly effective against STD's. They reduce the risk of Herpes, HPV and syphilis a lot.
