hi, your bf will need treatment as well as yourself as he could carry it.

i recommend using natural bio yogurt with NO sugar in it and no flavour. apply it around and a little inside your vagina whenever the itch returns. this yogurt contains the bacteria that your vagina needs to get rid of the yeast.

if that doesnt work, go to your doctor and get some medication prescribed x

Yeast Infections are not bad they are just an inbalance of the normal bacteria that are in your vagina.. Most women get them every now and then.. you can get over the counter treatments if you are sure it is a yeast infection and if it happens frequently then you may need to see your gyno.. while you have the yeast infection though you should use condoms because you can pass it to your boyfriend which will in turned be passed back to you and just keep cycling.. a yeast infection though is nothing like AIDS it something that occurs to probably 80% or more of women at one point in their lives... no big deal!!!
