Yes: Depending on the infection, it may be dangerous for the fetus, so make sure to see your doctor to ensure it is treated!

Absolutely...: An infection may change local/vaginal pH slightly, but not enough to immobilize sperm. You absolutely can get pregnant while actively infected, so do not use this as a means of birth control.
