Hi. Let me answer your query step by step. There was no risk of HIV involved by the injection given by HIV infected doctor surgeon.

Hello. Yes, the test is still valid. The results would show the effect of increased iron intake for the past weeks that you have been taking it and a few days of not taking it will not have much effect.
