What Causes Recurring Yeast Infections?

I am continuously suffering from yeast infections. I am extremely careful about staying clean 'down there' but I am sexually active with my boyfriend of 2 years. We do not use condoms, and occasionally he will finish inside of me. I was wondering if HE could be the cause of my reoccurring yeast infections.

The fungus are the normal comensals of the female genitals. These fungus are kept under control by the helpful bacteria, whenever there is an imbalance in the genital environment it will leads to multiplication of the fungus and producese the symptoms.
