Yes, you can use monistat and garlic together, though it seems like a bit of overkill. Using garlic and yogurt may work better than either seperately, I have no personal experience either way. You can assume it's gone when your symptoms have completely cleared up - no abnormal discharge or odor, no unusual sensitivity or irritation. No, condoms can't completely prevent passing a YI to a partner, because they don't cover all the area that could be effected by a YI. Also, condoms shouldn't be trusted for contraceptive protection in the week after using monistat, as monistat is oil-based and can damage condoms.
