All About Male and Female Yeast Infections

Yeast Infections and Sex

Yeast infections are not considered a sexually transmitted disease, and it is not usually necessary for a sex partner to be treated.

Obviously, if both partners have symptoms, it’s a good idea for both of you to see your doctor. If your sex partner has a yeast infection, it is possible that you might get one too, but this is not the usual source of a yeast infection.

Shared sex toys have been known to spread a yeast infection among partners.

Some sexual practices can transport your own rectal yeast to your vagina, where it becomes infectious. It’s not a good idea to have vaginal sex after anal sex, unless you’re sure that any yeast organisms (and other microbes) have been washed off the penis or sex toy first.
