No, not all.: But most do have the potential to allow yeast to proliferate because antibiotics that kill bacteria can kill the normal organisms that are pert of your vaginal flora. Antifungals would kill yeast since it is a fungus and antiviral medication would have no effect on either bacteria or yeast.

Not necessarily: Most antibiotics can suppress healthy vaginal bacteria, triggering yeast overgrowth, but some more than others: the wider the antibiotic's "spectrum" (i.e. the more kinds of bacteria suppressed), the higher the risk. It's always good to request the least broad spectrum antibiotic that will be effective. Duration is also important: usually no problem with brief treatment (e.g. up to 10 days).
