Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Urinary tract infection can be contagious.

For further evaluation, I suggest to do a urine culture which can confirm the bacteria and proper treatment.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contappct me again.

Kind regards!
