Lots and lots and lots of water, all the time.  Try to pee immediately after sex, and keep drinking water to keep peeing. 

And my (holistic) gyn told me to eat lots of blueberries the last time I had one, as the skins on the blueberries had the same properties in cranberries that helped with the symptoms. 

I used to get these with certain new partners. And once I got one, I'd take the antibiotics to prevent it from becoming a kidney infection.  But the constant water drinking made them stop happening - you want to prevent them, so you don't have to take the antibiotics, and as someone else said flushing out the bacteria is the way to prevent them.
