You can but you shouldn't. Having intercourse when you have an infection is dangerous and could make the infection worse or could make it into something bigger.
So...no, don't have sex with a yeast infection.

You can..but you probably won't want to.
It will be pretty uncomfortable and will cause further irritation, prolonging healing time. It's also possible to pass a yeast infection to your partner and it's unlikely that he'll take too kindly to that.

Avoid having sex until it clears up. You can give a yeast infection to a guy, yours can clear up but then he can end up giving it right back to you if his goes untreated. Not a good idea. Plus, the itching and burning will just get more intense during and after sex.

No one will die if you choose too, but it’s not a good idea.
It is possible for a man to develop a yeast infection if his female partner is suffering from one, although it's unlikely. It's curable, but a real pain and difficult to treat in men, so you don’t want to put him at risk for it.
Also, it's just probably not very comfortable. You should never expect yourself to have vaginal intercourse when it's painful or uncomfortable, and your partner shouldn't expect it either. If you have scratched or are inflamed from the infection, almost any contact will sting and burn. The rawness also leaves you at a greater risk of STDs or other random infections. No one wants any of that.
Condoms offer a good deal of protection against the spread of the yeast infection to the male, but the addition of the plastic and lubricants/spermicide can add to the female's discomfort. Semen, can also add to the bacterial imbalance the female is experiencing, and make it worse.
So, having sex when you have a yeast infection isn't going to kill anyone, but it's a rather bad idea.
If you have a yeast infection, get it treated, and wait until it's cleared up entirely before you have vaginal intercourse. Lord knows there are other fun things you can do in the meantime. with a partner.
