Get your conclusive test at 3 months. Next time use a condom.

i do plan on taking another test at 3 months but i jus wanted to know how accurate the test would be at 8 weeks because i'm showing significant symptoms and i understand that the antibody test does'nt detect in the early stages..

You don't have symptoms after 6 weeks. Most people will test positive by 6-8 weeks.
