At that time: So he can have his urine tested for infection and immediately be started on antibiotics, if needed.

Immediately: Due to male anatomy, there are very few situations that can cause a uti. This should be further investigated. Other causes could range from stones (kidney, bladder, urethra), prostatitis, fistulas, etc.
