aidsmap.com :: HIV basics - Testing: "There are several different types of HIV tests. Often a small sample of blood is taken and analysed in a laboratory. Other tests give an initial rapid result using finger-prick blood, or even saliva. It’s often possible to get a test result the same day.
The tests used today can usually tell if a person has HIV within two or three weeks of their infection. In the past you might have had to wait three months to be certain that your test result is accurate.
It’s a good idea to talk to the person giving you the HIV test if you have any questions about it."
