Hello,

Fungal infections are very contagious and any type of physical touch with the infected skin of the person even in hot water baths increases your chances of catching the infection. Fungal infections can be passed from person to person or from objects and surfaces to a person.Even if you use the same hot tub baths,towels or even tubs that your boyfriend had used earlier,it is possible for you to get the infection.

Hope it helps .Take care and pls do keep us posted in case you have any additional queries.Kind regards.
