My compulsion in all of this seems to be spending hours checking news and religious sites on the Internet. I did some research and couldn't find any instances of people having OCD take this kind of manifestation. Do any of you know whether this is OCD or is it something else?
The religious one sounds like OCD as I have many of the same problems. The one where you are afraid to get AIDS sounds like OCD too. Have you told your therapist about it?
