My husband has recently been taking Cipro for prostatitis. Is this sexually transmittable to me to cause a UTI?

hi, it depends on what sort of prostatitis, if its bacterial then there's a risk of transmission of whatever bacterias present in the prostate via semen, otherwise if its non-bacterial prostatitis, the risk is nil
