Pcr viral test

I have a follow up question regarding HIV.  If I had a high risk possible exposure and felt like I had symptoms would a pcr viral test tell me if the symptoms were HIV related?

I decided to take HIV RNA test and am waiting on results.  Kind of nerve racking because I thought I would have had results today.

Okay, I think there a place around town that does 4th generation tests, but it's a rapid one I'm pretty sure.
