Not sure what test you are talking about or will be taking, but it is good to make sure prior to your testing. Oraquick

Rapid shallow breathing
test takes ~20min. to give accurate, clear results. Usually testing at 12 or 13 weeks is considered conclusive, but 11 weeks is certainly valid that you don't have HIV (not that you had a risk to begin with), and your status is not going to change.
