Hello ma'am and welcome.

A faint line is usually still considered to be a positive result until a blood test or ultrasound rules it out. If a blood test conducted has indeed ruled out pregnancy, then the result could have been a false-positive which occurs due to various reasons like medications, wrong urine sample used (wrong time of the day), etc.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
