Here's what you do hon to put your mind at rest. Start drinking lots of cranberry juice. Cranberry is a known natural way to deal with urinary tract infection. Yes, I have gotten them all my life and I know the very first signs, feeling like I have to pee more often, and then once I've emptied my bladder, I have that urge to pee still as if the bladder is still full. I have gotten rid of infections that way.
If you might have gotten any germs from him, taking cranberry now can kill it in the early stages. Make sure thats all you drink for a few days when you do have an infection. You are more likely though to contract an infection from having the runs and some of the runny liquid from the bowel movement making that short distance to your pee hole. Thats how most women get it.
How do I know? Because I am very careful about cleaning myself whenever I have had diarrhea for whatever reason, but even with all the care I take to wipe and hand wash, I get the symptoms of urinary tract infection right after or during the runs.

Any time you have sex with someone who has an ACTIVE infection there is risk of the infection being transmitted to you. In a sense you could say it is a sexually transmitted disease.
Here is the mediating factor. Once someone has been on antibiotics for 24 hours it is assumed that the infection can no longer be transmitted to another. Meaning you cannot infect another person. What I am not so sure about is if this includes the swapping of bodily fluids such as semen and saliva. Had you boyfriend worn a rubber it may have only reduced the chances not eliminated them, if you kissed or had oral sex.
Incubation periods for transmitted infections vary anywhere from 10 days to 30 days. Chances are you will not get his infection. If you do it may result in you getting some other type of infection or a urinary track infection as well.
I'm surprised given your age that your boyfriends doctor did not tell him to refrain from sex for a period of time.
Note: If you had a yeast infection and had sex with him before were aware of the infection. His urinary infection could be the result of your yeast infection.
