It's really up to you.
Yeah, you should be fine as far as sex as long as it's not painful for you. I used to get UTI's a lot and I couldn't figure out why, until finally my doctor asked if I was sexually active. He explained that after you have sex you should always urinate (no matter how much or little it is) simply because it flushes out all the bacteria that lingers around the edge of your urethra. It has helped because I always do that and I have been UTI free for well over a year now. I'm not sure if this is your first UTI or not, but I feel this information may be useful to you.
Sincerely,
Pita
Actually I'm going to dissent from the popular opinion.
