HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Herpes is transmitted from one person to the next by contact with the lesions.
If you have been sexually active with any one then you cannot have be infected with this virus.
Yeast infections are not considered sexually transmitted infections and can occur in any one.
Treatment would be with a topical or oral anti fungal.
I hope this helps
