you can take a duo test at 4 weeks or an antibody test at 6 weeks.  at that point, either of them will give you a very good indication of your status.  both tests need to be followed up at 3 months for a conclusive result

ok,
you can take an hiv duo test 4 weeks or a simple hiv test at 8 weeks after this exposure. Then you can confirm the result at 3 months after your last exposure. Try to keepl calm until the test results
