Tell but no test: Vaginal yeast infections are localized and usually non transferable to a male/female partner. As a matter of courtesy and since he/she is "sharing" the vaginal space, telling him/her that you are in the process of a treatment application is helpful to avoid intercourse until the infection is cleared.
