Can anything happen to the male if you have sex while you have a yeast infection?

Question

I'm pretty sure I have a yeast infection  (I'm not positive but I plan to find out. And I've had sex with my boyfriend recently. Will he be okay? Or will he need treatment too?

Answer

Yes, your partner will need treatment to.

Answer

He can, and probably will, get a yeast infection also.

Answer

Yes he can get it too. Might just want to tell him to look for signs. Especially if he is uncircumcised.

Answer

He won't.  Yeast like a warm, moist environment, like the inside of a vagina.  There is nothing warm and moist about a penis since it is on the outside, it's made of regular skin (not mucosa), and has exposure to air. It's a myth that men can get sexually transmitted yeast infections.  Not the right environment for growth.

Answer

Yes! Avoid sex until you're fully treated.

Answer

He will get a yeast infection
