Q: if i have a negative at home test strip, can i still have a uti?

: A home urinalysis may be accurate if the test results (specifically leukocyte esterase and nitrite) are interpreted accurately. Urinary tract symptoms could also mimic other disorders of the vagina such as a yeast infection as well as an STD
