What happens if you have intercourse while having a yeast infection?

I am about 3 weeks post-op and I had my period 4 days after surgery. It lasted about 6 days. This is embarassing but I had sex on the 11th day not knowing that I had a yeast infection until the next day when I felt the burning and itching and notice the discharge. I called my surgeon's office and they told me that this is sometimes the response of all the antibiotic that i was on while in the hospital. I am still taking some antibiotics for a stomach bateria that my surgeon told me that I had. My question is what happens to my significant other being that we had intercourse and I have this yeast infection? Does he need to take antibiotics too to get rid of whatever?
