Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Generally urine pregnancy test may take up to 4 weeks to become negative.However it may be bit prolonged in some cases.
You don't worry at all.It is only showing faintly positive results which indicate presence of still slight amount of hCG in urine.It will fade away after some time.
There is no problem in sexual activity.
Hope i have answered your query.
