Hmmm, Traveling Salesman,

Was this condom lubricated with nonoxynol-9, a spermicide known for causing irritation and possible disruption of the bacterial flora? If so, that could be it, although yeast per se is caused by an overgrowth of the fungus candida. Not to say that nonoxynol-9 can't make matters worse.

LG,

I think I read somewhere where a certain type of condom can give a man a yeast infection. Some type of spermicide or something.
Ever heard of this ? I think it's happened to me. Kind of hard to explain when you bring that home.
