What we typically think of as a UTI is an infection caused by germs that are near the urethra, but can cause symptoms if they ascend into the reproductive tract. These kinds of infections aren't spread by sex, but sex can make them more likely. These infections can happen in sexually active and non-sexually active people.

On the other hand, sexually transmitted diseases can infect the urinary tract. Chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis can cause painful urination if they infect the urethra.

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
