Does anyone know if yeast infection or fungual infection can be pass by oral sex...

I had unprotected oral sex and protected sex and after 23 days my penis is red if I jerk off and also the tip of penis gets really red after ejeculation and than theres the burning feeling...

Is it possible I got yeast infection by oral sex ???

Yes, it is possible. Never have unprotected sex. You may have picked up something much worse than a yeast infection. Better see a doctor and find out what the real problem is.

How are you so sure it is a yeast or fungal infection? Although these agents can be passed on orally, it is rare, however, did you know that if someone has active herpes in their mouth, during oral sex you could contract herpes that way? Point being is get tested to be sure. If it is a yeast or fungal infection, start using something to clear it up asap so it doesnt get worse.

whats a difference between fungal and yeast infection

A yeast infection and a fungal infection are two different things.

Fungal infections are just that, infections caused by fungus, jock itch is a common type of fungal infection. Over the counter medicines like Tinactin or Lamisil are good in eliminating fungal infections.

A yeast infection, or otherwise known as candida, is when then natural occurring yeast or candida in our intestinal track begins to overpopulate our system because of a lack of "good" or "host" bacteria in our bodies. People who have been on antibiotics for a long period of time, or have been sick and have a weekened imune system are at the highest risk for yeast infection. The most natural way to cure a yeast infection is to ingest a dietary suppliment called live culture acidophilus. After a few weeks of using this, the yeast will become under control.

If I were to guess at what you have, just by how you described it, you have a yeast infection, which may have nothing to do with recieving oral sex, it may be a coincidence that the symptoms appeared after the oral sex activity. Do you have burning along with the discharge? If so, it is more than likely candida.

Yeast infections can be pretty serious, and if left untreated, can lead to hospitalization, I would suggest going to a health food store and getting some live culture acidopholus and trying this for two weeks, if your symptoms do not get better, get to a doctor and have him take a culture to verify candida.

One thing on the acidopholus, it has to be live culture, meaning that it has to be refridgerated, many health food stores will sell you acidopholus right off the shelf, stay away from that, it is not live culture no matter what the "expert" at the store tells you, alway buy the refrigderated type. Most good health stores have a fridge section for various temp controlled products such as this one. Foods like yogurt have live culture acidophulus, just not in the concentration you need to effectively treat a yeast infection, which is in the billions of units per day.

I hope this helps, and I would not let this go to long.

Actually yeast is a type of fungus; just a different variety.

Does this put me in risk for HIV, does that mean that condom broke and I got HIV ??

You can only get HIV if the other person has it, and even if they do have it that doesn't mean you'll get it.
Get it checked out.

Your last post about HIV makes no sense. If you arent going to listen to the advice given to you by concerned members and take it into context, then for God's sake go see your doctor and get off the boards. Where do you get that you may have HIV from a possible yeast infection? I cannot make the connection no matter how hard I try, totaly unbelievable!
