Don’t worry. UTI following physical contact is not uncommon. Coagulase negative staph is contaminant. You need treatment of fungal infection. That you have already taken, that’s ok. Don’t be scared, maintain local hygiene , always wash your private parts before and after intercourse, always try to pass urine after intercourse as well. Don’t worry, it will be alright.
