Can I get a yeast infection from someone else?

Although uncommon, yeast infections can be spread from person to person. This is especially true for yeast infections in the genital area. It is possible for a couple to pass candiasis back and forth between them, so it is important to seek treatment if you notice unusual rashes or discharge. So it is important to use a condom and to wash your hands after touching infected areas or discharge.
