Is The E-coli In Urine And Staph Infection In Throat Contagious?

Hi, i'm 42years old and am 31 weeks pregnant. My boyfriend has just been diagnosed with e-coli in his urine and a staf infection in his nose, he is on antibiotics and i want to know if this affects me also since we have a active sex life, i have a horrible smell from my urine like his and thats why i sent him to get tested in the first place, i had a urine sample taking this morning but have to wait a couple of days for the results, he also has been given referal for a scan for further research that might be an underlying problem, can any1 confirm if i could or can contract this from him sexually even though its not classified a std? THOUGHT THIS WAS A FREE SERVICE!!!!

hi,
yes E.coli is transmitted sexually..its good if you can abstain from sex for a few days..
but body resistence to E.coli varies from person to person..
it is normal inhabitant of gut, causes disease in rare occassions..
let the reports come..if your reports are positive then you have to take a course of antibiotics..
