DON'T BUY THE AZO TEST STRIPS-- I got TWO false positive readings!
I was having symptoms of a UTI (urinary tract infection). I wasn't able to see my doctor right away and I ordered these AZO Test Strips. The box contained 3 test strips. I tested myself on Sunday and the test turned a reddish color which led me to believe i had leukocytes indicating to me that I had an infection. On wednesday, I had an appointment with my doctor and I decided to test again with another of the 3 test strips. Again, the test turned a reddish color. I put this test strip in a plastic bag and brought it with me to the doctor's office. As soon as I told my doctor about the result of the home test strip, he gave me a sample jar and asked me to provide a urine sample. My doctor was able to test the sample right there at the office and we got the results within 10 minutes. The test came back negative. He told me he would send the sample out to the culture lab to ensure there was no infection growing. That came back negative as well. I did the test on two different days and apparenty got 'false positives' on both tries. There will be no more home-tests for me; this home UTI test does not work accurately.
