Your dad needs to be evaluated by a urologist. Most urinary tract infections don't often cause gross hematuria (visualized blood in the urine) and they are not transmitted between family members. Only does hereditary cystic kidney disease can cause gross hematuria in both son and father but that bleeding is not a UTI.

Your issues are unrelated. Your dad should see a Urologist ASAP. Explain to him that passing blood in urine is grossly abnormal and needs to be investigated. It could be trivial or serious. Either way the earlier discovered the better
