No. HPT's detect HCG (the pregnancy hormone) in urine. That hormone is present throughout pregnancy, not present if there's no pregnancy.

I don't know that it would drastically change the result of the test, however, its best to get a "clean catch" when taking a home pregnancy test. This means that no blood should get onto the test. If a woman takes a blood test to determine whether or not she's pregnant, being on her period should not effect the result at all.
