Urine is a sterile solution, meaning there are no germs present under normal circumstances, Pregnancy tests measure the amount of HCG there is present in your urine, which is not affected by germs. There are two definitions of sterile...sterile meaning unable to conceive and sterile meaning without bacteria and viruses...urine is the second kind of sterile.
