It can take up to 12 weeks for a HIV test to become positive so there is little point in performing the test any earlier. If the test were performed any earlier and was negative it would simply have to be repeated again at 12 weeks. It can take up to 6 months after infection for the antibodies to show up in a test.
The incubation period for Hepatitis B (time from infection to onset of symptoms) is 6 weeks to 6 months, the average being 2 to 3 months. You may be thinking of the vaccination which provides protection for up to 5 years.
