A member asked:

I was diagnosed with acute prostatitis can my wife get a infection or yeast infection through sexual intercourse? we do not use condoms

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: This is most likely if the cause is trichomonas. If this does happen, you can get treated together and this will probably be a very good thing in the long run for eradicating the infection. The other prostatitis microbes aren't so catching. Was a microbe identified?
