Is it okay to have sex when you have a uti ?

Yes: If you feel up to it, sex should pose no issue. Just remember that birth control pills will not be effective for up to 30 days following a course of antibiotics.

Not good idea: Firstly, sex may well be painful or uncomfortable. Secondly, an inflamed area should not be traumatized because it will prolong recovery. Thirdly, don't have sex primarily to accommodate partner. Thus best wait until all symptoms of UTI have resolved, then enjoy.
