UTI versus NGU: Unprotected oral sex can transmit some STDs (a lot less than vaginal or anal sex). One possibility is nongonococcal urethritis (NGU), which sometimes may be due to normal oral bacteria. Even though NGU is an infection and occurs in the urinary tract, it isn't normally called a UTI. Sometimes NGU is misdiagnosed as UTI, but these are separate problems. True UTI is rare (if ever) from oral sex.
