Thrush: If by thrush you mean yeast vaginal infection, then the answer is most of the time men do not contsact yeast infection from sexual contact if their immune system is normal.Rarely it is possible in immunocompromised people.Va.

Thrush: All of us have candida, the fungus that causes thrush, in our mouths. This can be spread by oral to oral contact, but most will not get an infection from this. Most commonly, thrush occurs after use of an antibiotic. Repeated thrush can be part of an immune deficiency. Go your your doctor for an exam.

No.b sure its thrush: Thrush occurs in people who are very young, elderly, debilitated by disease, or who have immune problems. Dry mouth syndrome makes someone very susceptible to thrush. Candida may grow after antibiotic treatment, which can decrease normal bacteria in the mouth. It can also occur with inhaler use. It is common in denture wearers. Be aware fever blisters (painful sores) may be contagious.
