Recently I had a bacterial throat infection and because I'm in a different country and they didn't have my medical history, I had to go to the hospital to get my blood work done and I had an elevated white cell count and a high level of bacteria in my bloodstream. Once again, no fever.

Can you get UTI if someone has it and they didn't wash their hands and you touch things they did?
It could be spread that way only if you touch around your urethra after coming in contact with their germs. You can't get a UTI just by being exposed to the germs. The germs would have to be introduced to the "correct" area of the body. They are generally not absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream. So if you don't touch your urinary or genital area even if you have the germs on your hands, you won't get it down there. You might give yourself something else, like a sinus infection or warts on your hands or something.
