My wife and I , age 68/68, have sex once a week and she has had a UTI three weeks in a row.  We are both disease free and very clean and healthy.  I have read online that younger and older (>65) have about the same sensitivity to E.coli infections and clear rates with smx/tmp Rx.  She dislikes taking medicine.  Is the sex the problem, or could it be something else?  Should we use a condom until she is free of the UTI?  We dont want to give up lovemaking, but we dont want her taking antibiotics every week. Your input is welcome.
