I wouldn't have intercourse with him for some time, since this would get the infection back to you and you would just go back and forth. You should take the treatment again, and not have intercourse as long as the symptoms are present. If you do, the infection won't go away. I don't know if a condom works with yeast infections.

Good luck.
