Q: I'm 24 years old and I got my first yeast infection about 2 years ago, right after I got an IUD inserted. Since then, I've had several. Could it be, because me and my boyfriend are passing it back and forth, or is there something wrong with me. He doesn't say that he itches or burns, so I don't believe that he has one. Please help! Completely irritated.
