Can you please explain why
It just doesn't. Almost NOTHING affects the accuracy of the combo test. MAYBE chemotherapy for cancer, but even that is a maybe.

If you have cancer, you should discuss infection risks with your oncologist. Engaging in behavior that might put you at risk for ANY infection while you are having cancer treatments can be life-threatening. But you did NOT get HIV from this event.
