Hello,

Thnx to contact us. I understand your concern.

If I am your doctor I advice you that, yes candida is contagious infection. But candida usually occurs in persons whose immune system is suffered like HIV, Diabetes, Prolonged antibiotic treatment. I advice that you and your girl friend should tested for HIV. You can take the fluconazole tablet for the yeast infection kindly take it under doctors guidance.
I will be happy to answer more of your concerns, kindly know me,
