Symptoms and the test!?

If someone, lets say has some of HIV symptoms at 2 weeks, does that mean their body is making antibodies and they will probably test sooner. Donnu if that make sense, for example if someone has symptoms at 3 weeks and got tested at 3-4 weeks, would the results show activity due to symptoms. Or example if someone had no symptoms or symptoms after 6 weeks, then their test would show results past 6 weeks.
What my questions is.. is how soon you get symptoms determine how soon your antibodies will show up on test?
Appreciate responses in advance.

if you've symptoms at 2 week yours 6 week test, will be positive.

When you've a risk get the test at:
6 week and 12 week that is conclusive and ignore the symptoms.

Thanks Tommy. So if symptoms started at 2 weeks, and lasted for 2 weeks, then I get tested at 4 weeks, the result might be somewhat conclusive?

To answer your question, most people will show positive on an antibody test about 1-2 weeks after seroconversion. Seroconversion is your body's response to the virus, which sometimes manifests itself through symptoms.
