Candida and sex

I recently had sex with my BF while I had a yeast infection. Will he acquire it?
 
No, Candida is not a sexually acquired infection. In fact, women who have yeast infection generally do not like to have sex because it can be irritating. The only men who may be at risk for acquiring Candida from their partner are the ones who are severely immunosuppressed.
