See a dr: Blood in the stool can be concerning. With the HIV diagnosis, it can mean colitis, which is frequently caused by an infective agent (shigella, amoebiasis, CMV, Campylobacter, Clostridium dificile). There are straightforward treatments for most of these infections, so a visit to a dr for a stool culture is important.

Last night I had a bowel movement and after I wiped, there was blood on the tissue and the water was bright red. I don't feel any pain at all outside of the initial movement coming out. I'm 25. Should I be worried or was it just due to a large stool?
