Roomate has yeast infection.
Hi,
I never knew about it prior until two days ago but .. my female roomate has yeast infection (im female as well) .
We share the same washroom, toilet, kitchen utensils like spoons, forks knives, pans, pots etc etc
Is it possible for me to get the yeast infection since we share household utilities and most importantly the toilet and the bathtub. What would be the dangers of living with someone with yeast infection and what should I do to protect myself from catching it.

I have never heard of someone "catching" a yeast infection, unless they are having sex. I don't think there's anything you need to "do" to protect yourself. No worries.
