Why My Doctor Is Asking Me To Do STI Test?

i did a urine sample for my doctor and leukocytes were found in it so she asked me to do another one. again, the same was found. she is now asking me to do an STI test, even though i have explained it is highly unlikely I have an STI as i was recently tested and all the tests came back negative and I have only had one sexual partner since then. Why is she asking me to do this? is it just to rule it out? or could it be more serious?
