Hi, im 42years old and am 31 weeks pregnant. My boyfriend has just been diagnosed with e-coli in his urine and a staf infection in his nose, he is on antibiotics and i want to know if this affects me also since we have a active sex life, i have a horrible smell from my urine like his and thats why i sent him to get tested in the first place, i had a urine sample taking this morning but have to wait a couple of days for the results, he also has been given referal for a scan for further research that might be an underlying problem, can any1 confirm if i could or can contract this from him sexually even though its not classified a std? THOUGHT THIS WAS A FREE SERVICE!!!!
Hi, yes E.cold is transmitted sexually.it's good if you can abstain from sex for a few days.but body resistance to E.cold varies from person to person.it is a normal inhabitant of gut, causes disease in rare occasions.let the reports come.if your reports are positive then you have to take a course of antibiotics.hope my answer helps you if you have any more queries I would be happy to answer.
