How conclusive is a urine test to a blood test for hiv?

My urine was sent off by uroligist, I think something has showed up in urine test which I have to wait till monday, the secretary would not give me the results she has faxed them to my doctor.

My blood test have been fine, just worried about my urine test.

The urine test are NOT as reliable as the blood tests. Even though it is was approved by the FDA, the FDA has put out a warning on the reliability of the urine tests.
