Probably: however, IF the urine specimen was contaminated, it is possible that you had a "False Positive" test. It's not easy to give a "clean catch" urine specimen! It's unusual for a Dr to run an UA if there is no reason. Fever, increased frequency or urgency. Sometimes it can be an early infection without many symptoms, and untreated it could lead to a full blown infection or worse, a kidney infection.
