Yeast infections can be found in men, yeast infections can be found in young children, and yeast infections can even be found in babies. It is unfortunate that such a social stigmata seems to apply to yeast infections. Men are embarassed to even talk about this, much less find a way to solve the problem. I know it is hard to imagine, but systemic yeast infections are becoming more and more prevalent in today's society.
Candida albicans is a common yeast found in our digestive system and throat, when we are exposed to anti-biotics, birth control pills, corti-steroids, or prednisone the good bacteria which normally keep candida under control in our systems are killed off and the candida can overgrow. When the candida yeast gets out of control, it morphs into a mycelial fungal form, becomes invasive and grows rhizoids which then burrow into our intestinal wall. These rhizoids leave microscopic holes in the intestinal wall which allows toxins in the form of undigested food particles, bacteria and yeast into our blood stream. When this condition occurs the overgrowth is called Candidiasis or a systemic yeast infection.
It's very possiblw that it can spread but it also depends on what type of yeast it is.. it's best to contact a doctor and get up to date answers on what would most likely happen. if she was to get a yeast infection in her mouth here is what to watch for.. One indication of a systemic yeast infection is oral thrush or a white coated tongue. The toxins that the yeast puts into our system are responsible for the varying conditions that each individual experiences.

A man can get a yeast infection from sexual contact with a woman who has a yeast infection. However, not every man exposed to a yeast infection will get one. Men are at increased risk of such an infection if they have diabetes or are uncircumcised.
Signs and symptoms of male yeast infection include:
Itching or burning at the head of the penis
Red rash on the penis
A male yeast infection is usually a relatively minor problem that can be easily treated with antifungal creams or ointments.
Women can also get yeast infections from men. So it is important to treat both partners if a yeast infection is suspected.

It is a possibility the infection could be spread to your girlfriend's mouth. You might want to tell her so she can be checked out for an infection. White patches in the mouth and wierd smelling breath would be signs. The doctor can prescribe a liquid medication called nystatin which is good for the infection. Your girlfriend would just rinse and swallow the med as directed.
You definitely need to be diagnosed and treated. If left untreated the infection can be spread to anyone you come into sexual contact with plus yeast infections can get pretty nasty if left untreated.
Use a condom in the future, that's the best way to prevent these nasty incidents from happening.
