Hi,

If you tested positive for cocaine without using it in the last 3 years, I'd ask if you are taking other drugs including:
- codeine?
- kidney infection might also be a possible contributor
- antibiotics you've been using for kidney infection might be another cause.

I advise to :
- treat the kidney infection properly
- stop taking antibiotics for at least 2 weeks prior to testing

then, you should repeat the testing again.

Hope it helped!
