Can you catch a uti from someone else?

Answer 1

UTIs are not contagious. They are typically caused by bacteria that normally live in the digestive tract without causing symptoms, but make their way to the urinary tract and cause disease. While sexually transmissible infections such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomonas, and herpes can cause symptoms similar to those of bladder infections, these are not normally referred to as UTIs. However, if your question is "can a woman give a man a germ that causes burning when he urinates," the answer is yes.

Answer 2

Yes, it is possible to catch a urinary tract infection from another person. Here is a relevant quote which I looked up for you: Sexual intercourse may lead to cystitis, but you don't have to be sexually active to develop it. All women are at risk of cystitis because of their anatomy - specifically, the short distance from the urethra to the anus and the urethral opening to the bladder.

Answer 3

A urinary tract infection is not contagious and cannot be given to a girl from a guy. A UTI is cause by bacteria that get into the urinary tract.

Answer 4
