Staph is a common skin germ found almost anywhere in nature. It is not considered a STI . Vaginal yeast infections are often the result of cross contamination. Yeast is found is the feces & the location of the anus so close to the vagina means it easily transfers into that location. Close attention to cleanliness of these sites may help as can some over the counter vaginal care products.

Staph is not an STI. Good local hygiene with soap and water and a visit to a GYN to find cause will help
