Specializes in Urgent Care

Yes you most likely : Nitrites are highly sensitive and specific for UTI's. It is unusual that you don't have any or negative leukocytes (WBC's) though. I suggest that you go and visit your physician or local urgent care for a more accurate test to confirm the diagnosis of a UTI and to possibly get a urine culture and sensitivity done. Symptoms of a UTI include frequency, urgency and painful urination. Good Luck!
