My girlfriend has an oral yeast infection. Can I catch that by kissing her?

 Answer:
Oral yeast infection isn’t catching. People have it because their resistance is down for some reason or another–the yeast that causes the infection is present in everyone’s mouth, but when the mouth bacteria get out of balance, the yeast grows more than it is supposed to and causes inflammation.
