That his penis is sore and hurts.,,,,could he have contracted my yeast????? I never knew men could pick it up but I guess anything is possible..I feel horrible he is already a germ-phobic. He

My husband contracted it from me. Best advice is to ask your doctor for a prescription pill you can take then split the prescription. Tell him to use over the counter Lamisil or you can get Monistat for women and break up the insert and spread around his groin area.
Also plain Greek yogurt spread around you and your husbands infected area will ease the itching instantly and take away the burning.
My husband and I battled a yeast infection, his lasted three weeks only because he was stubborn and said he didn't have one.

Yes men can catch yeast infections and bacteria infections too. They can get them and give them. Both are not considered a std because they can occur on their own in women bodies without any sexual contact.
