No, Urinary Tract Infections are in the urethra and bladder and cannot be spread from person to person. The bacteria themselves can be transmitted through urethra-to-urethra contact, but the man's urethra is longer, giving his urine a chance to kill the invading bacteria. Seek treatment for a suspected urinary tract infection as soon as possible.

It is rare that males get UTI's but on the other hand of course it is possible. I know it is somewhat unorthodoxed for one to wash their hands before using the restroom however, if you think about it the fingers are 10 dirtiest things on the body and the main cause of bacteria entering the body. Another reason could be holding urine in too long such as having a busy job which prevents one from going when the urge is there. If one has had a catheter recently secondary to surgery or a recent hospitalization which required cauterization could be the culprit as well. If one thinks about it, it is not that hard to get bacteria in that area; one can even get one by going for a swim. Please do not assume or self diagnose and always f/u with a doctor, because it could be something more serious. Take care, Jupiter's Dawn

Yes - thrush for example could be passed between sexual partners and as there are few symptoms in a man he may not know he had it in the first place.
