You can't really 'give' a yeast infection. The organism that causes the infection is all around. The yeast will begin growing when you become a good host. If you become immuno-compromised or if you don't practice appropriate hygiene or if your skin remains warm and moist, you will be growing yeast before you know it.

The vagina naturally contains bacteria and yeast, an acidic pH kills 'bad' bacteria and allows 'good' bacteria to thrive - some of this 'good' bacteria produces hydrogen peroxide to keep yeast under control. Sometimes vaginal pH and flora can be thrown off balance, making it easier for yeast to multiply - for example if a woman uses soap to wash her vulva, this can change pH so cause imbalance in vaginal flora. Yeast is also a fungus so likes warm moist environments, thus things like women wearing tight synthetic clothing can increase risk of developing a yeast infection, and yeast like sugar so a high-sugar diet can increase yeast infections too.
