Hello ajclynch, thanks for your question. According to the Mayo Clinic, you may get a false positive on a test if "you have traces of blood or protein in your urine."
Some prescription drugs such as promethazine (used to treat nausea and allergy symptoms) and diuretics can also create a false positive. Mayo also states that using a damaged or older (expired) kit can create have the same effect. If you would like to read more of the Mayo's article, please visit this link. Does it sound like any of the above mentioned scenarios apply to you? Thanks.
