Thrush can develop as a result of the use of antibiotics, oral contraceptives or steroids. It is also more prevalent in women with diabetes, multiple sclerosis, a weakened immune system, a history of allergies or who are pregnant. Thrush does not appear to be sexually transmitted but is associated with some sexual practices (e.g. women receiving oral sex).

Yeast (thrush) infection is not a sexually transmitted disease. The most common root causes of yeast infection are mercury poisoning, previous use of antibiotics, lack of friendly bacteria in the body, hormonal imbalances, previous use of birth control pills and high sugar diets. So, in order to get rid of candida, you need to eliminate all of these root causes. Good luck!
