I don't know about the infection itself, but possibly the medications you are taking might. This may be a question for the doctor treating you. Some drugs could give a false positive, among other circumstances.

 

Try reading this article written by Merely Me, a writer and community leader for this site, titled, Can I still be pregnant if the home pregnancy test is negative?

 

In the second part she addresses some possible reasons for a false positive. I hope it helps you and I hope you get rid of the infection soon.
