A member asked:
Can i get a yeast infection if my partner had sex with someone else and then had sex with me?

Not because of that: You can get a yeast infection because they are incredibly common but not for that reason; i don't consider yeast infections contagious because we all have yeast (candida albicans) already living on our skin, in our intestines and most women probably have a bit vaginally; whether it progresses to an infection has more to do with your diet, immune health, antibiotic use ; balance of other flora.
