A member asked:
Can a yeast infection be passed to your partner by having intercourse? does my partner need to be informed and tested?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Transient: Yeast infections are not generally transmitted from partner to partner. Some men will experience a transient genital irritation after having relations with a partner who does have a yeast infection - that can be more prominent for an uncircumcised man.
