“What could a positive test for blood in the urine indicate?”

Positive blood test in the urine may be cause by many etiologies (different causes) such as extreme exercise, medicines, sexual activity, menstruation (having a period), But blood in the urine may be sign of bladder infection, prostate, kidney injury, stones accident. Etc. Another test should be done to see if the blood found in the test is resolved or your health care provider needs to go further in the investigation to rule out any other cause. Thank you.

Very non-specific finding. Anything from injury to a neoplasm. Other findings will narrow down what it is.
