An infection or having blood in your urine will not cause hcg to show up in your urine just as it will not cause hcg to be masked in your urine/blood tests either. Hcg is a hormone. Blood, white blood cells (indicate infection), and bacteria in your bodily fluids are completely different from hormones and look totally different (and are tested differently) from hcg in the lab. If a test was performed for hcg and the lab did not detect any, it either means it was too early to see in your urine or you are not pregnant and the faint positive tests are errors. If only a dipstick urine test was done in the office, it may be less accurate than a test done in the lab. Again, it may have been too early. By next week when they do a blood test, they ought to easily be able to detect hcg if you really are pregnant. (I'm not a lab technician or anything but I am a nurse.)
