I was out of town for three days and I found out my girlfriend went to a friends housae alone with him and did some partying. I was asured nothing had happened. monday 2:00 am was when they started hangin out. They were alone because his girlfriend had a urinary track infection and was sick at home. tuesday night we had heavy intercourse regular and anal unprotected. Thursday morning she compained of lower back pain and front right hip area uncomfort. She seems to think it is a bladder infection and is planning to go to the doctor tommorow. Is the time frame right for them both to have recieved the infection from him or is this coincedence.
Thanks

Difficult to speculate. The time course from infection to symptoms can vary from person to person, and the severity of symptoms can also vary (from no symptoms to more severe). Thus, she may have contracted the disease, or it may be a coincidence.
Obviously, being tested for various STDs, such as gonorrhea and chlamydia, as well as for a UTI (with a urinalysis) should be considered and discussed with your personal physician.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
