FAQ
Can I use these UTI Test Strips instead of going to see my doctor?
The UTI test strips are convenient and easy to use for screening a UTI in the comfort of your home. It is advisable to use it only if you experience any of the UTI symptoms. If you show a positive result, you must immediately see your doctor. However, if you show a negative result but have symptoms, we still advise you to consult with your healthcare provider.
How accurate are Utiva UTI Test Strips?
The Utiva UTI test strips are clinically accurate. These rapid tests are similar to what some clinics use to quickly screen for a UTI before doing a urine culture. The results of the UTI test strips have been compared to another commercial test. The study shows 94.4% accuracy for the Leukocyte test and 98.4% for the Nitrite test.
Is there a time that is best to take the UTI test?
Yes, the best time to perform the test is with the first morning urine. However if that is not possible based on when the UTI symptoms present themselves, you can use this UTI test anytime during the day. The UTI test should be avoided during your menstrual period.
Are there limitations of the UTI Test?
Yes. Under certain conditions, you may receive a negative test result even though you have a UTI. This can be due to a few reasons: your UTI is caused by bacteria that does not change nitrate to nitrite, when urine has not been held in the bladder for more than 4 hours, when taking antibiotics, or when your diet does not include nitrates.
Can men use these UTI Test Strips?
Absolutely! Utiva UTI Test Strips can be used by anyone.
