No worries: Typical urinary tract infections are not transmitted by touch nor by sitting on things. That is because the germs cannot crawl up a person's urethra just by being on that person's body. There has to be an element of bad luck, or a "predisposing" bodily condition that makes a urinary tract infection likely to happen, before one needs to worry about catching a UTI merely through touching germs.
