Brief Answer:
std may or may not go with pathologic urine

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
Stds usually go with positive leukocytes in urine but not necessarily so this is not sensitive test for std. Std microbes are present in urethra ,not in urine or bladder. So only specific std testing can reveal possible infection
