A member asked:
Taken a uti test and the top strip for leukocytes is both purple(positive) and yellow(negative) as it isn't the whole strip, does this mean positive?

Not reliable: The over the counter UTI tests are not reliable. Urinary tract infections, vaginal infections, urinary inflammation not caused by infection, vaginal inflammation, normal vaginal secretions, and normal skin bacteria.....can all make those strips appear positive. I recommend following up with a doctor for more accurate testing
