A member asked:
If per have e.coli in urinary tract then can it be transmitted from person to person by sex?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Sexual activity may predispose one of the partners, especially a woman unaccustomed to intercourse, to an infection by the common e coli we all have on board. If a man has a urinary tract infection, it's wise to seek an underlying anatomic defect. Good luck.
