Deoends on the test: Hiv virus can be detected as soos as 6to12 days afterexposure to the virus and about 2 weeks before antibodies are made if you were only tested for antibodies you have to wait 2 more weeks to be tested as by that time antibodies may be detected you can not detect antibodies 2weeks after exposure.
