My partner has been diagnosed with a urinary tract infection. He has been prescribed the antibotic Vibramycim. His doctor has suggested that I get treated to, even though I have no symptoms.

Is this necessary? Can urinary tract infections be contagious?

Hi Adiie

It's best to be treated, especially if your partner has been diagnosed, and you are both sexually active with another.

Give the attached website a read, and then hopefully, this will explain a bit more.

If you need further advise or info, just post us again, and we'll do all we can to help.

Good luck and take care

Ginger

if your doctor has recommended to, i would think thats the best option, if you are still worried get another opinion of another doctor. it wouldn't hurt to take the meds anyway better be safe then sorry.
