My husband thinks that he has a uti and has been thinking it for a few weeks now. Can uti be passed through intercourse or could the brown be his semen coming out of me from intercourse if he has a uti because that is what I have been thinking the brown is, his semen because we are sexually active every day and trying to conceive. My last pap smear was one month ago and came back normal.

transmission of uti

It's unlikely that semen will appear brownish .
