This is a positive but normal result. U. urealyticum is a normal bacteria in the genital tract; at any point in time, at least half of all persons test positive. Like all genital bacteria, it is shared by sex partners. Also, even when treatment makes the test negative, often UU has persisted at undetected levels, and then regrows. It causes no symptoms and does not need treatment.
