UTI and Sexual Transmission: Risks & Prevention

It's possible for a urinary tract infection (UTI) to be transmitted during intercourse, however, this is not the typical mode of transmission for UTIs. UTIs are primarily spread through contact with contaminated surfaces or through sexual contact with someone who has an active UTI. Direct sexual contact with an infected partner can introduce bacteria into the urethra, leading to an infection. This is why it's important to practice safe sex and good hygiene to reduce the risk of transmitting UTIs during sexual activities.
