A member asked:

Is it okay to have sex and oral sex with a female vaginal yeast infection? or could it spread?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No, yes: Yes, it can spread to the mouth or penis. In addition, the damaged skin in the area is more prone to bleeding and a secondary bacterial infection. You should treat the infection first to be on the safe side.
