Tests such as the Ora Quick take only 20 minutes. However, since clinics send their samples to be tested in batches, it ends up taking 1-2 weeks to get the results back. And, you have to come back in six months because HIV has a window period where your body will show no sign of HIV infection. If you are positive the first time, or there are conflicting results the first and second time, then they will have you take the Western Blot test which is over 99.9% accurate.

Depends now days they have rapid test available which can take 10 minutes. Another kind is an oral swap test which takes about 3 days. Most effective is still to get blood drawn and do ELISA test and if anything shows up do a western blot test. That should take no longer then 2 weeks.

It depends on where you have it done.
It can theoretically take a few hours if the medical staff have access to a testing centre.
Normally though, it varies from 2 days to a week.
If the test is yours, good luck on the result.
