A member asked:

Could i get a urinary infection after having unprotected sex?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Generally not: You can certainly get stds, but unless there was trauma to the urethra (tube from bladder to outside) by aggressive or prolonged sex you should not develop UTI simply because you are having intercourse.
