Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. If you had unprotected sex with a risky partner then there is possibility of spreading. As it is 3 weeks ago you can go for HIV Duo test to rule out such possibility of infection. This includes both antigen and antibody tests. This test is more than 97 percent reliable also.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
