Anal sex concern

Im having a  dilemma.

Should i engage with anal sex? Im a Bot and have constant sexual urges but i always have fear in HIV.  I know there are condoms  and PreP available for me, but its always a non guaranttee protection. The condoms could break and slip, or people could remove them without me knowing, and there are chances that PreP wont work. Should i abstain instead? Thank you.

The ways that people get HIV are unprotected vaginal or anal sex or sharing IV drug needles. Yes, condoms can break (doubtful anyone takes off without knowing) and Prep usually works.  Yes, abstaining is really the only true way to never have a risk. However, it is such low risk (less than 1 percent chance) from the things you describe that it is nearly zero and not worth worrying about. Up to you. No one here will talk you into it or out of it.

Well, I might.  As noted above, yeah, if you want to never have sex you will never have a risk.  Do you want to never have sex?  If your answer is you do want to have sex, then you have to decide how to do that with the least amount of risk.  If you decide you never want to have sex, then you're home free on this front but then of course you never have sex.  Do you drive?  It has a lot of risk but you get to go all sorts of places you wouldn't go to otherwise.  Up to you.
