The yeast Candidida is the cause of "yeast" infections. It causes localized inflammation of the skin. This is why you get the sores. A good treatment is to use plain yoghurt on the area. Women frequently get yeast infections in the vagina and one of my preferred prescriptions is to have them dip a tampon in plain live yoghurt and insert it into the vagina. More often that not, this provides them with a total cure. Consuming too much vinegar can lead to yeast infections, as can infection with the HIV virus.

Can you get sores during a vaginal yeast infection?

If there has been a certain amount of discomfort, you may have scratched in your sleep. This would be THE ONLY reason for sores. Pelvic Inflammitory Disease can mimick a yeast infection, only with sores and unusual (not necisarrily bad) odor. You can get this from swimming in dirty water, wearing wet swimsuits too long, using a questionable toilet, and sex with unclean partners. PID is not an STD. It is an infection, too. Antibiotics are needed to clear this up.

The yeast infection cause HIV?

Yeast infections do not cause HIV. At least not by themselves. They may however make you more susceptible to it if exposed; but you would still need to actually be exposed to the HIV to get the HIV; the yeast infection would not be the cause of it. When your body is exposed to HIV it might not enter the bloodstream, it may get washed away. With a yeast infection that has open sores, these open sores are extra areas where the HIV could more easily enter the body. Also note that once you have HIV; if your immune system begins to shut down you would become more susceptible to yeast infections because your body would have a harder time fighting them. So HIV can lead to more yeast infections and yeast infections can help facilitate the exposure of HIV; but neither directly causes the other.
