A member asked:

Would it be possible to contract a yeast infection from my boyfriends mouth?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: If he has 'thrush', an oral yeast infection, it is possible to transmit it during oral sex. But any degree of inflammation or irritation with associated moisture can lead to an infection.
