It is not very: common to get a yeast infection from another person through sexual activity, however, if you don't have symptoms by now, you should be fine.

Alright from yeast: You are not likely to have a yeast infection. Am I correct in assuming that both of you are girls, if yes, the risk is greater for women (than more men.) A small amount of yeast is normally present in the vagina, it becomes a problem when it overgrows due to change in vaginal flora.

Yes,: The fungus that causes a yeast vaginitis is usually Candida, and is fairly common, and becomes symptomatic when the conditions are ideal: warm, dark and moist. You may have the fungus on your skin but will remain asymptomatic as long as you keep yourself cool and dry.
