receive pneumonia from oral sex?

A woman was in the hospital with pneumonia a couple of days prior to her giving me oral sex. Am assuming they put her on meds. with her being on meds what is the possibility she was still contagious, which she never told me she had it. For a couple of days My urine flow was frequent, like peeing thru a straw and small white discharge. I have none of those symptoms now but am still concerned.

Well pneumonia is not an STD. You don't get it that way. Maybe you are worried about a urinary tract infection? Generally, Strep. pneumoniae it the " classic" type of bacteria for pneumonia but there are other bacteria that can cause pneumonia. So if you have frequent urination that is hard to go and and especially if it burns when you go that could be a sign of a urinary tract infection. If it is gone then I wouldn't worry about it. Maybe it was a transitory bacterial
colonization and not really infection. If you get it back then you can get a urine culture done. But if she was for sure on antibiotics you shouldn't be able to get it " unless" the bacteria was resistant to what she was on. There is always uncertainty in science and the body.  It is not a "contagious" way of getting things like sneezing or coughing more of an infectious way. But usually if you pee after sex it will remove any bacteria in there. So you are probably fine. That is my overall answer.
