Both the test are required to predict any risk of infection with HPV and chances of cervical cancer in the future.
If you have done both the test then you can repeat it after 5years duration

To help understand what is the type of HPV strain that you are affected with if any
There are two types of HPV high risk n low risk
Getting your periods the next day is not going to impact the report of the test
