Need to see a: healthcare provider ASAP. As you are HIV+, even if well controlled, you may end up getting parasitic infections that could show up as mucus. Or you could have opportunistic fungal infections or malabsorption problems. Or the mucus could be from what you ate the day before. You still need to see a healthcare provider and perhaps stool sample for proper exam and treatment.
