Hi Kureha. Have you been on medication before, or are you on medication now? If so, what is it? (If you don't mind sharing).
Have you told your psychologist about the special messages from the TV? This is very important to tell her.
You said you "half" believe it is OCD because that's what everyone says. What does the other half of you believe it is?
I would hate to you see you getting treated for OCD when it doesn't sound like that is what's going on. An important feature for OCD is that the person knows that what they are obsessing over is irrational, but they continue to obsesses.
It seems like you have these fears and beliefs about AIDS, and you are going to continue with them no matter what anyone else says. That is understandable, as it is what is real to you.
I would encourage you to make sure you tell your psychologist, and future-psychiatrist about these messages and insights-- I believe they would be a very important part of the course of your treatment.
