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.

Can a yeast infection be confused with MS?

Now I'm no doctor but I am the sister of someone who has been diagnosed with MS... We refuse to settle for that diagnosis... My mother has always had a prolonged yeast infection throughout her body... Being young when she started having children the yeast infection was never treated properly and therefore all of us kids were given that obnoxious trait. Unlike most females we're blessed with recurring yeast infections and other uncomfortable symptoms. So therefore we are susceptible to this exact question. (Although my sister refuses to see any other possibility than MS, stubborn) Also we are aware of at least one instance of misdiagnoses. A relation of ours had every symptom of MS and was diagnosed with Lupis and when treatment didn't work with that they then diagnosed him with MS... Still nothing was working and he went to one more doctor and it turned out that he had an over abundance of yeast in his system. It was easily treated and the only downfall was that he had to watch what he ate... I think that's pretty feasible don't you? I hope anything I've said has helped.
