Can Ureaplasma Transmitted Through Unprotected Sex?

I was diagnosed with ureaplasma and have started taking antibiotics. I have had unprotected sex only once with my new partner before that and don't want to mention the diagnosis. Is it possible that he has not got it from me and does not need to get treated? I realize if he does have ureaplasma as well I am going to get it back but what are the chances he does not? Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Ureaplasma and mycoplasma are bacteria that can be commonly found in the reproductive tract of both men and women.
The clinical history of patients with urogenital or extragenital infections caused by Mycoplasma or Ureaplasma species is syndrome-specific.
It can be transmitted by sexual route by unprotected intercourse.
Kindly take the prescribed antibiotics course. In case your partner is symptomatic, it is essential to be treated.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
