Are Yeast Infections Contagious? Let's Talk About Sex!
Are yeast infections contagious or just a private nuisance? Years ago, the female group, Salt and Pepa hit the music charts with a song entitled " Let's talk about sex". Because they were a rap group, I figured, when I heard the title, that it was a song about explicit sexual experiences. Not so. In fact, just the opposite. The song promoted the need to have open and honest conversations about the consequences of irresponsible sex. Coming from a group that gained popularity for such songs as "push it", "what a man" and "you make me want to shoop" I must say I was pleasantly surprised.
Of course they're not the first or only group sending out that message. We hear it all the time in schools, growing up at home, churches and even public service announcements. We've been soaked with information about sexually transmitted diseases . Even our adolescents know about the more commonly discussed infections: gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia and HIV. While our knowledge may not be scientific we understand that there is a strong possibility for contracting an infection if we have unprotected sex.
Are Yeast Infections Contagious like other sexually transmitted diseases?
Most health care professionals don't classify yeast infections as a sexually transmitted disease but the truth is that yeast infections are contagious and can be contracted through intimate contact.
The fungi that causes yeast infections thrives in dark, warm moist areas. Of course this creates an ideal atmosphere for the transferance of yeast .
Also, it can become a vicious circle where the two of you just keep passing it back and forth to one another. We live in a time that sexually transmitted diseases neither raise eyebrows or alarm anymore. Since most people don't know that yeast infections can be transmitted during intimate contact here are a few safety tips that you should follow:
1) Ask before you touch. Don't take for granted that your partner is yeast free. Remember 75% of all women will get a yeast infection at some point in their lives and will pass it on to sexual partners.
2) Be observant. Yeast infections produce a strong and distinct odor, in females a thick white vaginal discharge and in males a rash on the penis. If you these symptoms are present it may be best to refrain from intimate contact and encourage your partner to seek treatment ( natural remedies are best :)
3) Abide by safe sex practices. Always insist on the male wearing a condom . Just because yeast isn't considered by all health care professionals to be a sexually transmitted disease doesn't mean you shouldn't protect yourself in the same manner.
4) Don't forget about oral yeast. Yeast can thrive in a person's mouth. This condition known as thrush can be passed on to a partner just like yeast that is contained on or near the genitals.
