The pregnancy test results shouldn't be related to a vaginal infection,
yes or no.
As far as the vaginal infection, it may or may not be a yeast infection
and if it doesn't clear for longer than several day this time, a culture
at the doctor is indicated.
Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
