It can infect the vagina also. These areas are moist and dark. That makes it suitable for the growth of delicate yeast like candida albicans.

If you had a yeast infection that wasn't really active yet and your fingers came in contact with the infected area and then went into your mouth is it very probable to pass the infection there?
My guess is that it's not probable. Candida albicans exists in your vagina... the infection is caused by an imbalance which then allows the yeast to overgrow. If your mouth is healthy for the most part the yeast won't be able to survive (I would be careful not to eat any sugar though, just to make sure).it is possable!!!! its called thrush!What is oral thrush?oral thrush is an infection of yeast fungus, Candida albicans, in the mucous membranes of the mouth.

How do you cure Thrush?
Vaginal thrush is caused by an overpopulation of yeast in the vagina when the bacterial population decreases. The bacteria usually produce an acid called lactic acid, and when they're not around the acidity of the vagina decreases and this allows the yeast to grow out of control. Yogurt has similar (harmless) bacteria that also produce lactic acid. (This is actually what causes the milk to change into yogurt.) So applying yogurt to your vulva (the area around your vagina; not inside it) usually cures a yeast infection. It's totally natural, and totally safe.
Can a person get fungus on the tongue?
Yes, it's called Oral Thrush here in the UK and it is treated with anti-fungal medicine. It can often occur when you take antibiotics for another problem, say a chest infection, and the antibiotics kill the normal flora, making room for opportunistic infections. Medicine may only be prescribed depending on where you live. Hope this helps.
