By Isaac Eranga  Fungal infections in couples, particularly vaginal yeast infections (candidiasis), can be transmitted during sex, though they are not considered sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the traditional sense. While the risk of transmission during sex is not high, it's a possibility, especially if one partner has a yeast infection. Other factors besides sex can also increase the risk of fungal infections in both men and women, including weakened immune systems, diabetes, and antibiotic use.  Factors Contributing to Fungal Infections in Couples: Transmission During Sex: Vaginal yeast infections can be transmitted from one partner to another during vaginal, oral, or anal sex, although the likelihood is relatively small.  Disruption of Vaginal Balance: Sexual activity can disrupt the normal balance of bacteria and yeast in the vagina, potentially leading to an overgrowth of Candida, the fungus that causes yeast infections.  Shared Items: Sharing towels,...
