I can see that.  You have dozens of posts in 2 days in several forums, and I suspect you are getting the same answers everywhere.  I know what the docs in the experts forum answered, and I can't disagree with them.

If you are having problems letting go after what one of the leading experts in this field has said to you, then you need to seek some help for anxiety.  Dr. Hook is well known in this field, and I would certainly trust his answers.

I have jock itch off and own and it didnt starting irritating until afterwards. I think because i cut grass the next day and I was sweating. i went to the doc and got tested and everything came back negative. I used a condom for everything including oral sex.

And you shouldn't have sex with jock itch, as that if infectious as well.

Using a condom from start to finish will prevent HIV infection.

Do you know that the girl is HIV+, or are you just concerned?

Pretty accurate, if you followed instructions and its been enough time since the possible exposure.
