Depends on what you do. I would treat it..Not mess around with it.. Here's what I found for you on a website:

the urinary tract is the body's filtering system for removal of liquid wastes. Women are especially susceptible to bacteria which may invade the urinary tract and multiply resulting in infection.
Although most urinary tract infections or utis are not serious, they are painful. Approximately fity percent of all women will have at least one uti in her lifetime with many women having several infections throughout their lifetime. Fortunately, these infections are easily treated with antibiotics that cause the symptoms to quickly disappear. Some women seem are more prone to repeated infections than others and for them it can be a frustrating battle.

I have had hundreds of Urinary Tract Infections (uti's) since I was born, which then led to Interstitial Cystitis,(IC) a chronic bladder disease, and I have had bladder and kidney surgeries. The answer to your question is completely false. Uti's and IC is definatly not an STD. But some of the symptoms of certain std's can cause pain while urinating, or frequency/urgency to urinate. The best thing for you to do is to just get tested for std's if you are concerened about having one.
