UTI: Bladder infection per se is not transmitted to others. You should abstain from intercourse during treatment and for up to 1 week after completion of anitbiotics. Drink plenty of water. Std can be transmitted to others. Males because of a longer urethra rarely get UTI (bladder infeciton).

No you can't pass it: A urinary tract infection can not be spread sexually. It is not a ssexuallly transmitted disease.

No: No reason. Hope you are on antibiotics for your sake, and that sex isn't unpleasant before the UTI is under control.
