A member asked:
Can a male be affected or hurt by having unprotected sex with a female who has a yeast infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yeast Infection: As long as it is just a common yeast infection then the answer is that you need not worry about this. Transmitting a yeast infection is not a common problem. Your partner's skin will serve as a good barrier and he should be fine.
