    when you actually have pain when urinating I would go into the doctor and ask for a swab test rather than a blood test swab test so 99% accurate where is blood tests are 65 or less percent accurate and if you only have one outbreak per year it is more common for a false positive in a blood test, but a false positive with a culture or swab test is less likely due to it being 99% accurate
