not sure if its STI?

Question

My boyfriend recently found out he had a nonspecific urethra or NSU and came back negative for other STDs. I'm not sure what this is or if I should be worried. its treated with antibiotics.

Answer

“Non-specific urethritis (NSU) means any inflammation of a man’s urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside) that is not caused by gonorrhoea (a sexually transmissible infection). It is sometimes called non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU). Several organisms can cause NSU but, in many cases, the specific organism can’t be identified.
The infection can easily be caught through vaginal sex. It can also be acquired through anal or oral sex, although this is less common. NSU can sometimes occur without being sexually transmitted.”
It can be related to an STI or it can occur without an STI present. If I were you, I’d go get checked just in case, even if you’re not having any symptoms. Chances are good it’s not an STI if his tests were negative, but it’s better to be on the safe side.
