    they are used to test urine if you have a uti it would be detected using those stds etc would need to have a sample of urine sent off to be looked at under a microscope because those testing strips wouldnt detect those

      thanks for your response.

      I have placed Semen on the strip though and not urine and it is indicating leucocytes, blood and keytones. I understand they are used for urine but surely the technology behind the strips means it can be used on other fluids?

      if so what would these results indicate?

      Thanks again Kim for your time.
