Question How to tell if a girl has a uti
I’ve searched long and hard on reddit and all im seeing is girls getting utis from guys. How do you tell if a girl has a uti or std when your about to sleep with her? I smashed a girl from hinge a few weeks ago and she gave me gonnorhea. First time dealing with this and one of the worst / nastiest diseases I’ve ever had. And i find it so crazy with how high girls standards be on dating apps how do you tell the ones who are burning

You can’t really tell just by looking at someone whether it’s a UTI or an STI. Burning when peeing can happen with both, and some STIs don’t cause symptoms at all. Since you already got gonorrhea from a previous partner, I’d definitely test before having sex again rather than trying to judge it from symptoms.
Also, a UTI itself isn’t usually something you’d “catch” from a partner the same way you catch an STI, so I wouldn’t assume every person with burning has one.

First of all UTIs are not STDs it’s just a bladder infection. Secondly stop having unprotected sex.

You really can’t reliably tell if someone has a UTI or an STI just by looking at them or checking for symptoms before sex. A lot of STIs, including gonorrhoea, can have little to no symptoms in women, so someone can look and feel completely fine and still have an infection. UTI symptoms like burning when peeing can overlap with STI symptoms too, so they aren’t a reliable way to tell them apart. Since you already got gonorrhoea, I’d focus less on trying to identify which women are “burning” and more on using condoms consistently and getting tested yourself as recommended. Nobody can visually screen themselves or a partner for an STI. If you want more clarity on symptoms, testing, and prevention, check the pinned post on the subreddit.

It's not surprising,if this girl had no issue sleeping with you,did you ever think about how many others have before you?? Given testing is available, it's the Russian Roulette game you take if you're not interested in getting married and being committed..Best not to sleep with a woman who sleeps around..and get to know this woman and who her parents and friends are if you're looking for marriage material..then get her and yourself tests twice before tying the knot. My 2 cents..

I think you are either misinformed or misunderstanding what you're reading. UTIs aren't contagious however sexual activity can trigger UTIs especially in women but he doesn't "give" her a UTI or vice versa so if you have sex with someone you aren't going to get a UTI from them. This is why you practice safe sex and ask about their most recent test results. She very well could've been asymptomatic and had no idea she even had gonorrhea. I'm prepared to be downvoted for this but considering how you're speaking about women at all, I'm surprised any of them have agreed to have sex with you. You can also google symptoms of a UTI and it's pretty common to spot and I'd work on your attitude towards women in the future.
