A member asked:
Can you get candida of the esophogus through oral sex?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Candida is a form of yeast or fungus, which is quite common in women. If the female partner has candida vaginitis, then oral contact by the partner may lead to a fungal infection in the oral cavity of that partner. However, if there is a problem, it may not be candida, and it is best for both partners to have it checked by a health care provider.
