I was told I had strep in my urine but it's nothing to worry about. I'm currently taking doxycycline for prostatitis and had a UTI before this. I've been dealing with these issues since February and had a bad reaction to an antibiotic in March. I was worried it might be HIV, so I got a 4th-gen test at 4 months, which was non-reactive.
