 [ Symptoms ] 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 [ Disease ] i can not answer that question since i do not 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
