yeast is an opportunistic organism so this does not necessarily come from you during sexual activity. yeast is airborne so it can be just about anywhere. since yeast loves warm dark moist places the genital area of both men and women could have yeast. normal hygiene measures (showering) along with looser clothing (in ensure air circulation) is usually all that is needed to combat surface yeast. since the vagina may be the hidden source it is important for your girl friend to be properly treated or you can be passing yeast back and forth to each other.
