Jock itch is a common, itchy rash of the groin. It can produce a very intense itch and is associated with a red or pink rash involving the groin folds and genitals. Jock itch is primarily a skin condition in men because of anatomic structures unique to males, the male genitalia - hence its epithet as "jock" itch.

Roughly half of jock itch is due to fungus. The remainder is caused by moisture, irritation, and bacterial overgrowth. The fungus can be spread as an STD but that is rather uncommon.

Can urinary tract infections cause women to give a STD to a man?

To answer the question is somewhat difficult being that these two illnesses are completely different. One is a urinary tract infection which is caused by a bacteria getting into the urinary system and has nothing to do with an STD (sexually transmitted disease). So to answer your question I will offer three different answers. 1) No, urinary tract infections are not contagious and are very common in women. 2) No, a urinary tract infection can not cause an STD. 3) One must have an STD in order to give another an STD; which again has nothing to do with a urinary tract infection. Anyone can get a urinary tract infection and it has nothing to do with intercourse; even animals can get these infections. Hope this helps and take care, Jupiter's Dawn
