Cool I now understand, so the last question is, will the viral load be infectious enough to infect after a week?

As long as they didn't have unprotected sex with someone else and didn't tell you about it.
Test to know YOUR status. Do not use someone elses test as yours.

not always the case, you need to check your own status... they were not infected by you but not every exposure leads to infection
