I'm not sure of the guidelines in Pakistan, but according to the US CDC. An antibody test at the 12th week mark is considered conclusive. You might want to do a Duo test at the 6th week mark to have an indication of your status.  We cannot diagnose HIV by symptoms. Symptoms and the lack of them don't indicate HIV.

Hope this helps.
