My partner recently had painful urination with burning and he went to the doctor. He said the doctor drew his blood and made him "pee in a cup" and told him he had a bacterial infection. He said that they gave him a shot and put him on Zithromax. I recently had a yeast infection and thought it was cleared up, but it is possible that it wasn't cleared up. Did he get this from me? What sort of bacterial infection did he get that requires a shot and the antibiotics? I am concerned as he thinks I slept with someone else.

Are you sure he didn't sleep with someone else? Sometimes guys make the accusation if they are guilty of the crime.

No, I know for a fact that he hadn't. I just don't know what the deal is. Could he have gotten a bacterial infection from anal intercourse? I am concerned because neither one of us have cheated on the other.

I would guess that that is possible because people get Ecoli poisoning from fecal matter. I would imagine if he got any on him during sex it could happen. That's a good question.

Yes, you probably got the yeast infection from the anal intercourse. Its very possible that he didnt cleanse himself properly before sexual intercourse with the vagina. And you can spread the infection to him, again if he doesnt properly cleanse himself. Its all about good hygiene these days.
