Can a yeast infection/bacterial vaginosis go through your clothes?

Like, if you were super, super close to somebody, but you both have your clothes on, could you pass it on the other?

short answer: no

longer answer: not unless both your clothes were completely soaked and they were very thin or porous.
however, I supose that if the discharge of the infected person were spread to the outside of their clothes for some reason and you rubbed up against it it would be possible. … so I would say it’s HIGHLY unlikely but I suppose there are certain situation in which it would be possible.

Maybe if it were only a pair of knickers separating the two of you.

No, but you do need to get some medicine for it. It won’t clear up on it’s own.
