although description of your bowel movements are interesting, i would think you need to learn about transmission of hiv, you have had protected sex so you couldnt be infected, people bowels movement change all the time

Why would anyone get mad? You have a genuine question, a genuine concern. So, no worries about that.

I'd answer, but others have already beaten me to it. But, just in case: protected sex is just that, protected sex. Which means, you were protected against HIV and a whole host of other STDs. So, no worries. You did not contract HIV from protected sex. At least, I think that is what you were saying.
