Sex with yeast infection
20Female
Is it okay to have sex with a yeast infection? I've had this for over 6 months, the gyno keeps giving me medications to try but none have work because it's a type of yeast infection that is resistant to medications I guess. I was put on this cream for 3 days and about 2 days after using it I had sex with this guy -we used a condom. As far as I'm aware he did not have any itching, etc. I don't know if it's just luck, or if it's because he used a condom or if it's because I had just finished using the cream (but I still had the infection?) now it's a long story but I'm driving to see someone 4 hours away next weekend because that's where he's playing hockey right now. We've had sex before I ever had a yeast infection but I'm wondering if it's okay if I have sex with him if he wears a condom now that I have this annoying yeast infection that just won't go away. Obviously I want to have sex with him, this will be my first time seeing him since he moved there in September, and he won't be coming back to visit until Christmas break. If he does want to have sex, I don't want to say no because I have a yeast infection ..that' a little embarrassing. I don't know what to do! I guess my main question is, would he catch the infection even if we still used the condom? Because it worked the first time with the other guy but I'm more serious with this guy so it would be embarrassing if he got the yeast infection from me.

Hey there,
Yes it is okay to have sex with a yeast infection. This said: as long as you have protection. You said you do use protection so the chances of your boyfriend getting it is very slim. What I would do though, is let your boyfriend know that you do have a yeast infection and let him know the chances of him getting it is very unlikely. For, say if he does get it by rare chance... then he will know what he should be treated for by a doctor. I do find it kind of silly how you implied that it didn't matter that you could give your first guy a yeast infection, but you care about giving this guy one. You should care anyways :p Anyhow, if you are comfortable with eachother (as you must be if you are having sex) then it shouldn't matter to him if you bring up something like this. It is part of life and he should be okay with that.

If he does get it he will have simular symptoms to a female, such as: itching, dryness, swelling, and burning urination. Just let him know that you do have a yeast infection, but he isn't to worry. He should understand if you have been sexually active before... in the end, I am positive that he will be happy it won't affect your sex life ;)
