Yeast infections are caused by a number of reasons:

-stress
-lack of sleep
-poor eating habits
-hormonal changes
-periods
-taking certain medications (antibiotics, birth control pill, etc.)
-tampons, pads
-over-cleaning or certain soaps, etc

A yeast infection is not a STD/STI but it is possible for a male to catch a yeast infection from a female and, in turn, pass it back and forth if it is not treated. This, of course, if a VERY slim possibility and there would be some pattern (ex: every 2 weeks she gets a yeast infection, etc.). There is also a higher probability if the male is not circumcised. But this usually only occurs in couples that have regular sex....it is almost unheard of a dude passing yeast infections around after cheating. It just doesn't happen like that. The female more likely got the YI from the condom irritating her or she had started to get one without noticing it first, and the pH balance in her vagina was thrown more askew.

With all that being said, yeast infections occur in 75% of the female population regardless of age, sexual activity, and cleanliness. A yeast infection happens from 'with in' the body so even if you gf cleans and cleans and cleans her bits, it would not make a difference and even make the problem worse.

Over cleaning and douching can remove all the 'good' bacteria that fights these infections thus making her more susceptible to yeast infections. This really isn't "her" problem or "your problem", it is just a problem. Being more aware of her body won't make her yeast infection clean for the rest of her life.

Also, if this become a regular issue, she should talk to her doctor about it...yeast infections have VERY similar symptoms as bacterial vaginosis. These are treated differently and can lead to complications in the future.
