A member asked:

Is it possible to get penile infection from someone who has a yeast infection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely: It can occur if there is abrasion to the skin of the penis, but more commonly, men have the skin colonized without symptoms, and then are capable of reinfecting their sexual partners.
