Concerned

Morning,

I recently had protected sex outside of my relationship last Wenesday and my wife  told me as of  last night that she has a yeast infection, or what she thinks at this point is a yeast infection.  Now as for my protected event, it was with a female and I saw no signs of lesions, I have had sex with her before and have never gotten anything.  She hasn't had sex for about 9 months and is to my knowledge free of STD's with the exception of gential herpes, which my wife and I both have.  I am on Valtrex so that is not really a concern for me.  The condom stayed in tact.   My wife was on antibiotics about three weeks ago,but she did not take all of her medicine, it was for a throat infection or something to that effect. She states that she is bothered by latex condoms, but it was a day later that we had sex ( my wife and I) so that shouldn't have bothered her right?   Bottom line... could I be the cause of her yeast infection or what appears to be a yeast infection?

Chances are you are not the cause since your encounter was protected. Comdoms work very well in stopping transmission of STD's.

Yeast can be caused by many things - including her antibiotic use.  I wouldn't worry.

If someone is bothered by latex condoms, there are polyurethane condoms.
