Eight weeks will give you a good indication but is not conclusive. You'll have to wait until 12 weeks post exposure for a conclusive result.

Intercourse or oral sex? There is no risk with oral because saliva inactivates it.

I assumed from the response that he must've meant intercourse and not oral sex. But perhaps I assumed wrong. No idea since he didn't specify.
