Can you get infected by sharing a bed with a patient with non-gonococcal vaginitis?

Patient's question:

I have a friend who unfortunately suffers from non-gonococcal vaginitis. Her daughter (10 years old) sleeps in the same bed with her, and she doesn't know if her daughter has been infected.

Doctor's answer:

Non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU) is a general term for urethritis caused by pathogens other than Neisseria gonorrhoeae, which is transmitted through sexual activity. It cannot be transmitted without unclean sexual behavior.
