A member asked:

Have a group b strep uti can it be spread to husband through sex? does he need treatment? will it come back when we have sex again?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: GBS is a common germ in your poop that sometimes crosses over to cause UTI's in women. Intercourse does not pass it to men like a STD. At any one time 1/3 of women will have GBS living in their genital tract.It comes and goes.
