My boyfriend just found out he has a kidney infection and we've had intercourse multiple times this week and i'm 10 weeks pregnant. do i have it too?

Kidney infections: Kidney infections are not sexually transmitted. It is quite rare for a teenage boy to have a kidney infection. You may want to confirm that he has been tested for sexually transmitted infections and that those results were normal

Probably not but: Most kidney infections caused by bacteria are not "contagious" but a few may be. Your risk of "having it too" is fairly small But it would be good to ask your obstetrician about having a urine test/culture to rule out the possibility that you may have an asymptomatic bacteriuria or an asymptomatic urinary infection caused by Group B Strep or other microorganism. Be safe.
