Candida is a species of yeast that is part of the normal flora on the skin and in the vagina of a human. What we call a "yeast infection" isn't a condition in which a person "catches" yeast, but is an imbalance or overgrowth of yeast. Candida causes diaper rash, intertrigo, vaginitis, oral thrush, and balanitis. None of these are considered "Infectious Diseases" that one catches from another human.

Yes, a partner not washing before sex can increase the risk of a yeast infection, but it is not the sole cause. Yeast infections are typically caused by an imbalance of normal vaginal flora or an overgrowth of Candida, which can be influenced by factors such as antibiotics, hormonal changes, and diet. While poor hygiene may contribute to irritation or an imbalance, the infection itself is not directly transmitted from partner to partner. It's important to maintain good hygiene and consult a healthcare provider for any concerns about yeast infections.

No, a man drinking beer cannot directly cause a woman to have a yeast infection. Yeast infections are typically caused by an overgrowth of the fungus Candida albicans in the vagina, often due to factors like a weakened immune system, hormonal changes, or antibiotic use. Alcohol consumption by one partner does not directly lead to yeast infections in the other partner.
