A member asked:

I potentially have a yeast infection. brushed off symptoms cause no cottage cheese discharge but the itch gets annoying then goes away. how long after intercourse would hubby show signs of a yeast infection if i had a yeast infection during sex?

He may never get one. The yeast require an environment including moisture and the glucose in your vaginal secretions to thrive. He might get a mild superficial skin rash within days but simple washing may remove any yeast that might try to attach to his skin.

If you have itching would get checked out as may be other infections such as mycoplasma/ ureoplasma overgrowth or bacterial vaginosis.
