Because combo is combination of p24 antigen and antibody test.

means there are chances of false negatives
so we advice to repeat after 3 months to avoid false results.

There are two types of htlv tests: the htlv-i/ii antibody test and the htlv-i/ii nucleic acid test (nat). The htlv-i/ii antibody test is the most commonly used test and can detect the presence of htlv antibodies in the blood.

Only some immunosuppression drugs, chemo, steroids may affect test accuracy.

Most likely these tests are reliable about 99 percent.
