Sex and UTI


My GF often gets a UTI; can I get the bacteria when I have sex with her?

Females are more prone to UTI than males because of their anatomy. However, when you have sex with a female who has a UTI at the same, it is rare to acquire the bacteria from her. The bacteria do not survive outside the body and do not tolerate the pH of the semen well. 

However, males who have anatomical problems with their urinary tract can sometimes acquire these bacteria - it is rare. In general, females who have a UTI hate having sex at the same time because it is not exactly pleasant. 

The best advice is wear a condom if you are worried about acquiring any bacteria during sex.
