Yes and no: UTI is always possible, specifically with burning with urination. Your symptoms are rather suggesting urethritis or an inflammation of the urethra that can be infectious ( STD' s are notorious if sexually active) or non infectious in origin. Seeing your doc will be a good starting point.
