Brief Answer:
get husband examined with urethral culture

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to hcm,
There is all likelihood that your husband may be a carrier of the urinary organism causing recurrent infections to you post intercourse after you stand treated with antibiotics once. So his urethral culture should be done and he should be treated simultaneously to avoid recurrences of UTI.
