I find taking acidophilus (the live culture in yogurt) daily to be quite helpful in battling the yeasties; I also recommend using one acidophilus pill daily as a sort of suppository. This, combined with a topical treatment (clotrimizole, found cheaply at Costco) has always worked for my stubborn infections.

And yes, always pee after sex and wipe well--leaving yourself so wet after sex provides the perfect environment for yeast to grow. Secondly, stop having sex for a week or so, and have your boyfriend apply a topical anti-fungal during that week (such as clotrimizole, it's sold as a jock itch medicine too) to clear up anything that may be there without symptoms.

Hopefully that will help clear up some of the problems.
