Hey Doctor, I Just Took Two OraQuick HIV Rapid Test

Hey Doctor,
I just took two OraQuick HIV rapid test kits and they both were positive. I've been wrapping up for a while now. The last hiv test I took was about 1 1/2 years ago and it was negative with the same OraQuick kit. I recently went to the doctor and got diagnosed with a UTI infection. There's a chance I could have an std as well but I have to wait on my results. My question is, could my UTI infection, or possibly STD infection, cause a false positive test?
