How is it possible for a guy to give you a yeast infection even with perfect condom use?

[Anonymous]

After I had a one night stand with a few new sex partners I started getting a bad yeast infection. Is it possible one of them had one then passed it on to me? This is why having sex with random people could be dangerous? You don’t know what they have right?

Remember that condoms and other forms of birth control aren’t 100% effective. Even if you used a condom every single time, there’s always a chance that one of them could’ve either been defective or expired (yes, condoms expire). So yeah. Just be careful out there.

[Asker]

Nope it didn’t expire! What else can it be caused by? It wasn’t broken either

As mentioned above, condoms aren’t 100% effective. No form of birth control is. Please be more conscientious. Please seek treatment for the yeast infection. Take care. 🙏🏽❤️

There are many ways to get a yeast infection that are unrelated to sex. Just look it up if any could apply to you.

You can get yeast infections from different things not just sexual intercourse with or without a condom.

Drinking with the wrong people! 🥴

Ask your gen practitioner and/or ob-gyn about causes, candida are not necessarily transmitted, you can totally develop them on your own

It is likely you didn't get the infection from sex and the timing is just coincidence.

[Asker]

How?

[dudeinohio]

Probably just an imbalance in your body. Nothing to be too concerned about.

[KostasKouvalis]

Maybe the condom was broken or dirty

[Asker]

Nope it wasn’t! It was clean what is the cause now?

[In_Trance]

Clearly something not perfect took place

[Asker]

Really? Like what?

[In_Trance]

Did he finger you? Dirty hands? Even for a few seconds?
Infections don't happen because everything is clean

[Asker]

No he didn’t finger me just sex what else can it be?

I am interested in responses to this too

[Asker]

How so? You have sex with random guys too?

[Opinion Owner]

Yes... most girls have

[Asker]

Have you ever gotten a yeast infection from a guy?

[Opinion Owner]

No I haven't
