Recently diagnosed with beta strep by doing an urine test. i heard its not an std but can be spread sexually. is it possible for female to have it, have sex with a man, then that man have sex with me and i got it?

Basics: Group B strep is a common inhabitant of the digestive tract. It is transiently present in as many as 1/3 of women's genital tract (vagina) and occasionally known to cause a UTI. It is thought to simply come from the anus due to it's close proximity. Vaginal sex after anal sex may trigger transfer. Men would rarely if ever be carriers in their penis.
