Can I pass a yeast infection to my husband?


I had a strep b infection in my vagina, bladder, and kidneys and i had to take a course of 10 day antibiotics then a course of 21 day antibiotics to get rid of it (no im not pregnant, i had the flu at the time so my immune system was down thats how the infection started). well anyways since then ive had reccurent yeast infections and a UTI and its made sex VERY painful because as my doctor said, "your infections are pretty bad". well my hubby is not circumcized and i was wondering is it possible he is harboring the bacteria or has a yeast infection and we're passing it back and forth and maybe thats why i cant get rid of it? ive always been susceptible to infection my whole life.

Yes indeed. And he can give it back. It's the ultimate unfortunate version of Seinfeld's "regifting".

You both need to get treatment, and you need to "be good" until you're both clear. And yes, antibiotics can be a real problem for infection-prone patients.
