i can't answer that question since i don't know your symptoms have the ability to examine you or see those test results. i can tell you that about half of the women (i am also assuming you are a female) who have symptoms of a uti do not have them. many will have urethral irritation (usually from sexual activity) or even a vaginal infection. the culture is much more accurate than the rapid urine test so follow your instructions and see your medical provider again if you are not getting better.
the doctors did a rapid test to see if i had an uti and it came back positivebut the culture came back negitive. i went to the doctors on friday night and they did a rapid test to see if i had an uti and it came back positive. today i got a call saying the urinalysis came back negative and that i should follow up with my doctor and to continue to take the antibiotics they prescribed to me. what else could i have if the culture came back negative? what does that mean?
