Can a water infection affect the results on a HPT pregnancy test?

I didnt know where to post this so its in a few places.

Can a water infection affect the results on a HPT pregnancy test?
I have a UTI atm. It was found I also have blood in my urine.
I believe I have had it a while without knowing as it got that bad it had travelled up my body to my kidneys.
I havent had an actual period for 2months. TMI but just blood. Cycle 2 bright red blood. Cycle 3 brownish blood, not particulary heavy. No clots.
I also havent been bleeding when AF due but inbetween periods.
I have alot of pregnancy symtoms aswell.

I googled to find out the answer to my question, but everyone said different things. Some people said yes the UTI can affect the test. Some said its impossible. Some said it did for them but its uncommon and some said there doctors said it can if the UTI is severe aspecially if it is that severe blood is in the urine.
I have only had HPT tests. And they all came out NEGATIVE one of which was at the doctors.
I want to know peoples opinions.
My doctor thinks there is smething wrong with me and im going to have uterus and cervix checks next friday but if there is a chance my UTI is affecting my tests. I want bloods done before hand

Please help x x x x x

Might be worth you posting on ttc forums hun for testing advice etc.... but, i doubt that a uti would effect the result of a hpt as it detects small amounts of the pregnancy hormone hcg in your urine, and as long as there is enough of it there, you should still test positive. I just cant see how bacteria in urine would make any difference, but i am not a doc!!! It has a number of conditions such as hormones treatments, and certain types of ovarian cysts that produce hcg listed on the advice in the packet that will effect the test, however uti's are not mentioned so its doubtful chick.

I have had uti's through all of my pregnancies, and never had a problem with the results, howver if you still feel you may be pregnant get some bloods done as uti's can lead to prem birth and miscarriage.

Hope all goes well with your tests, and try not to worry.
