Have you ever seen the barcode at the bottom of a condom?

No?

That's because you've never rolled it down completely

You don't need to roll it down completely, it doesn't matter if the vaginal juices get on the base of the penis, as long as you wash that part afterwards and it doesn't come in contact with the "head". As long as its not so far up that its in danger of coming off you'll be fine.

You're still far too paranoid and uninformed about this sort of thing to be doing it.

Possibly yes. However, this user has previously made a lot of posts demonstrating his lack of knowledge and paranoia about safe sex and it has been pointed out (not by me) that until he feels more assured about these things he probably isn't ready for them.

Right, LondonBoy, seeing as you ask...I think it is highly unlikely, nay, almost impossible for the HIV virus or any other STI to get in through contact with a small bit of naked skin if the condom isn't rolled down far enough. The virus cannot get through the skin or hair follicles, it can only get through if the skin is broken, and that far down at the base of the penis is unlikely to get damaged during sex. So don't worry. And stop being paranoid.
