is my HIV risk high?

Hi. I had sex about 3 weeks ago. Can I get an HIV test after about 3 weeks (21 days) or is that too soon to detect anything?

If your exposure includes unprotected anal / vaginal penetration then you need to wait 28 days for the test to be considered conclusive

It's not possible to assess your risk when you don't state what your risk was.
