Let me just say the Rainhorse68 is correct. Just having anal sex is not how you get HIV or AIDS. One of you must have the HIV virus in order to infect the other. As long as both of you are healthy and you enjoy anal sex then you can continue.
I do suggest that you continue to use condoms when engaging in anal sex. Not so much to prevent or lessen your concerns about AIDS but other problems that unprotected anal sex can bring especially for the male.
The anal tract is the body's waste port and therefore is full of bacteria that can be harmful. The bacteria can cause Urinary problems including bladder and kidney infections. It is also important that even with condom usage that after anal sex both of you wash the areas with hot soapy water. One other word of caution: Never go from the anus to the vagina with a finger or a penis without first washing with hot soapy water.
Anal sex can be very enjoyable for both partners if you follow a few rules of safe sex. It is also a good way to enjoy intimacy without fear of pregnancy.

You can only contract HIV (the virus which develops into aids) by having anal sex (or vaginal sex) with a person who is HIV Positive. If you are not, and your girlfriend is not either, then neither of you can possibly have passed it to one another, since neither of you have the virus. Anal sex has a very high risk factor when it comes to passing the virus (which is why it is/has always been often associated particulalry with homosexual males). But ONLY if one of you IS ALREADY HIV POSITIVE!! It does not just simply 'happen' through enjoying anal sex with a partner, male or female. I promise you. Even if you did not use a condom at all, you can't catch or transmit something neither of you have got. OK?
ps Having a lot of different sexual partners doesn't actually 'cause' aids either. It just increases the probability of having sex with someone who is carrying the virus.
