A member asked:
Can you tell me exactly when is it safe to have unprotected sex after a yeast infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anytime: Technically speaking, yeast infections aren't classified as stds, so you don't pass it on to your partner during intercourse. However, yeast infections may cause vulvovaginal symptoms which are quite uncomfortable. Therefore, as long as you are feeling better and improved, it would be up to you when to engage in sex again. Fyi: some vag yeast meds may cause a condom to break down & fail.
