Will this affect my STI results?
Hi, I had a urine test done for STIs but I didn't pee up to the line so I added a teensy bit of water (like 5ml), will this affect my results?

Yeah, diluting urine can impact the results of some urine tests, alas. How about you call into the clinic and let them know?

Sorry to tell you. Here's hoping maybe it won't with whatever tests they ran, but better to know if your results aren't meaningful than assume otherwise.
