Brief Answer:
It iis transmitted through sexually.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Ureaplasma is typically transmitted through sexual contact and there is chance for transmission to your partner.
The best way to prevent infection is abstinence from sexual contact. Barrier methods like condoms will be helpful.
Drugs like a azithromycin or doxycycline is helpful and can be started empirically.

Is it more possible for my girlfriend to have already had ureaplasma parvum in her body and a weak immune system caused the spike in bacteria? She had a yeast infection also
Brief Answer:
Given.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
You can go for a confirmatory test like PCR from the vaginal swab to confirm whether it is ureaplasma infection or not.
Ureaplasma is a skin commensal and may not not be pathogenic and turn to pathogenic once the general immune system of body declines. Once the immunity is week, the bacterial load increases and will become symptomatic. In your case, your partner may be harbouring ureaplasma in the dormant state and concurrent yeast infection and weak immunity turned them in to pathogenic form.
However in most cases it will not cause much problems and settle with antibiotics.
