    yest infection do I need to tell a former partner

    Long story short for those who haven't read into my situation from my other post? Aug 20th I ended up having sexual relations with this guy whom I never thought I would. 2 days ago I broke it off with an angry text because I felt like all he wanted was sex. Today a walk in doctor told me I have a yest infection. My question is a yest infection isn't an std I dont need to tell the jerk right?

    Yeast infections are easily curable with the right medicine. They don't spread wildly like many STDs. They don't create life altering situations. I don't see the necessity of traumatizing yourself again by talking to him or telling him anything about your life.

        You are all OK Mzhk they just a plain for you not the guy. But for sure get that all clear up for your self now. But no don't waste your time with with him any more very classic a nasty text to break it off. But now enjoy life there's more to it then just only sex.

          Nope. No need to tell him, as the guys above explained. I hope the itching has started to subside with your treatment.

            Don't worry about yeast infection, it's not std. I get it if I use perfumed soap to wash my man member. A simple cream from pharmacy will clear this up. Don't worry about telling him.
