Can having sex before a uti test affect the results?

Here are some ...: Sex before proper urine collection for urinalysis +/- urine culture is okay and will not affect test result as long as the recommended procedures for urine collection is properly followed through to avoid contamination, i.e., clean catch mid-stream after proper intraLATA cleansing.

Hi I recently took a Urine Test. Results were as follows; S.G. 1.028 pH 5.5 slightly increased Urobilinogen amounts, Pus Cells 4-6/H.P.F. and positive for epithelial cells. Everything else was nil and normal. What does this mean? Does it mean a UTI?
