If you have had an exposure to HIV (unprotected sex/ blood transfusion/ sharing needles, shaving blades) there is a possibility that you many be infected. Loose motions for 3 weeks, weight loss are symptoms of HIV infection. Other symptoms include prolonged fever (> 3 weeks), fatigue and chronic cough.

To put your mind at ease. I suggest, that you get tested for HIV infection.
