My Girlfriend Last Week Mentioned That She Had Some Mild

default
Posted on Tue, 3 Nov 2020
Question: My girlfriend last week mentioned that she had some mild discomfort when peeing and thinks she has a mild UTI. She said she's had this before and it normally just goes away. I am a healthy 41 year old man. If it is a mild UTI, how much of a risk would I be at for getting a UTI through sex without a condom with her? Also, if she and I have been monogamous for the past 2 years (and neither had STDs when tested at the start of the relationship), is it unlikely her symptoms could be something else that could be transmitted to me sexually? Thank you for your help.
