Should I?

My boyfriend and I practice safe sex, but on one occasion we did not use a condom and he got a fungus on the tip of his penis (like weeks later). But a few days after(we had unprotected sex) I had a yeast infection, it had felt funny down there prior to when we had sex but i just ignored it, anyway he wants me to perform oral sex on him, should i? He was treated, got the anti-fungal cream and an oral tablet. Since then he's fine, this is a few months now.

I would wait until you are both sure the infection is gone, because then you can run the risk of getting oral thrush.

Guys can indeed get yeast infections.  Men have yeast in their bodies as well and have the potential to have yeast overgrowth. So sometimes, though not that often, if their female partner has sex with them and she has a yeast infection, he can potentially be affected by it.

thanks so much for responding.yes i got treatment, within a day or 2 i had the yeast infection and he showed symptoms weeks later. After reading back what i wrote i wasn't sure if that was understood, but its been a few months now and it completely cleared so he should still go and make sure right? and the doctor told him(when he visited about it) it wasn't a yeast infection because guys don't get them and that he just picked up a fungus on the tip of his penis. Is that true?
