UTI: Abdolutely! The Depo-Provera shot is just affecting your hormones to prevent pregnancy. You can certainly still get a urinary tract infection. Sex is actually a very common cause of UTIs. See a doctor if you think you have a, UTI. The treatment is antibiotics. Best wishes to you.

Yes: It is possible to develop a UTI whether or not using depo. See doctor if you believe that you have a urinary tract infection. Please let your parents know.
