Positive indicates blood or other occult substance in stool I believe. However the cause is often haemorrhoids. It certainly was in my case.
You should take this to your doctor though and they should refer you for investigations to rule anything else out such as IBD, Diverticular disease or even possible malignancy. They may want to send off a sample themselves to check it wasn't just a one off though - as it could be if haemorrhoids - especially if you have IBS.
