The first hiv protein (antigen) that can be measured is p24 (from 1 to 8 weeks after exposure. Antibody testing at 4 weeks can give you a good indication of your hiv status, but you need a test at 12 weeks after the exposure to be considered hiv negative. As told the correct result comes only after 12 weeks and the result at 8 weeks in not conclusive and may change.
