Just like a yeast infection, a UTI can be passed between partners as well. Guys very rarely get them, yes, but that's because they have MUCH longer urethras than women. Just like me, my guy got a bladder infection. Just like me, he got better with antibiotics and plenty of fluids. If your boyfriend gets symptoms anything like yours, it is more than reasonable to assume he has a UTI since you recently had one and therefore seeing a urologist may be unwarranted. If he developed the same symptoms at a time when you haven't had a UTI.. then it might be reasonable to worry.
