I recently had some burning upon urination
and some white discharge from my penis. I
am in a monogamous relationship, but I
figured I better get it checked out. The
doctor ran tests for chlamydia and
gonnorhea, but they came back negative,
and he said I have a urethral infection --
possibly sexually transmitted -- called
"nongonococcal urethritis" he has given me
some antibiotics. I'm not sure how to
approach the subject with my partner,
since she should probably be treated too.
The only thing I can think of, besides the
unthinkable :( , is that a week or so
ago we went to a "natural" hot spring cut
into the side of a mountain in the
wilderness. There was a lot of scum on
the rocks, and the temperature was pretty
warm -- is there a chance that I could
have gotten a bacterial infection in that
pool? It is odd that the symptoms occured
about 3 or 4 days after we returned from
our little trip.
I'm confused, and I don't want to make any
unfounded accusations. Can someone give
me some feedback?

You soaked yourself in probally the best
spot for bacterium to thrive!
All indications point to the spa.

Just tell her you have an inffection down
there, its no big deal. Girls get
infections down there all the time. Im
sure if anything was wrong with her she
would know and go to the gyno right away!
