Yeast Infection that will not go away!

Hi, I have had yeast and bacteria infections that will no go away!! I've had them for about 3 months.  I have been to the doctor a few times and have had tests that ruled out the stds and whatnots. What else could be this?  Is recurring yeast and bacterial infections a sympton of HIV? Should I get retested?  got tested in sept. Thanks for your help.

I was wondering...with a yeast infection is it normal to feel a tickle feeling in your pelvis, with burning and white discharge? The tickle feeling is unbearable...but I have been on diflucan for 3 weeks now (1 pill a week) and Im starting to get better...but Im not completely cured..Im scared shouldnt my infection be gone by now? Im going to the Doctor soon...I also have inflammation in my vaginal area that showed up on my pap...maybe that is making everything take so long to go away...ugh!!! I hate this!! Any advice???

I had a continous problem also.

Did some research and found that if your using bleach or any cleaning solution on your underwear that could be causing your problems. I quit using them and I haven't  had a problem since.
Hope this helps you.

Monistat and Diflucan help the symptoms while you have them but taking a natural alternative helps from reoccuring visits from that annoying problem.  You should consider vitamins that help control the overgrowth of yeast.  Acidophuls vitamins are inexpensive and highly effective.

I just want you all to know that there are wonderful natural alternatives to using antibiotics. I had a systemic candida infection and found that taking olive leaf extract worked better than antibiotics. I think it works better because your body naturally needs some yeast and this just brings your body back to balance. Antibiotics kill all of the yeast/bacteria, good or bad. Then your body is totally out of balance and it invites more problems.

If you are interested in exploring this option I welcome you to do the research yourself. If you want to give it a try, go to your local health food store and buy the herbal supplement in a capsule form and read the label. If it says 18% or higher Oleuropein (the active ingredient), buy it. If it's lower you are wasting your money. I have had great success using olive leaf extract.
