Answers:
A yeast infection is where a place in your body (could be the vagina, penis, or mouth) where the yeast gets out of control and starts up an infection. Anybody can get a yeast infection. You don't need to be sexually active either -- so yes, guys can get a yeast infection without sleeping with a girl who has one. It's not an STD.
It's most common to get a yeast infection in the vagina and mouth because yeast prefers dark, moist areas. You can be the cleanest person in the world and still get a yeast infection. Women usually get them from taking antibiotics, wearing too tight of pants, remaining in a wet bathing suit bottom for too long, or eating too many starches and/or sugars.
*Edit* Yeast feeds off of bread and sugar, so if your diet is consisted of A LOT of that, you're more likely to get one. Yeast lives in moist areas, that's where the wet bathing suit comes in. Not "airing out" enough down there can cause infection... vaginas need to breathe once in a while. We have yeast everywhere in our body. When it gets out of control, infection occurs.Health Question & Answer

Yeast is a micro-organism that lives in warm, moist environments.
They are airborne, and can live in locker rooms, pool-side, and sometimes, on public toilets.
Yes, you can have a yeast infection without ever having sex at all.
Redness and itching are the main signs. You may notice an odor.
DO NOT TREAT IT WITHOUT A DOCTOR'S ADVISE!!!
You could do more harm than good if it's not a yeast infection. If it's something else, and you slap some cream from Rite-Aid on it, it won't go away, and may get worse.Health Question & Answer
