UTI: Sounds like you have may have a urinary tract infection. Nitrites do not have to be positive. There are many UTI's that are nitrite negative. If you have back pain that could signify a serious kidney infection- pyelonephritis. You need to see a doctor right away or go to the ER.

GU infection: Please seek help for a suspected urinary tract infection as soon as possible. You may need to give urine for retesting and culture, depending on history and exam. Hopefully, there is no kidney infection. Hopefully, there is no sexually-transmitted infection or very rarely, urinary tract tuberculosis.
