Can virgins get candidiasis?

Patient's question:

My girlfriend experienced a sensation of itching in her external genital area on the night after we had sexual contact. We did not have intercourse, and my girlfriend is still a virgin. However, when we went to the hospital for testing, it was found that she had a fungal infection (+). Is this possible? Could my girlfriend really have a fungal vaginal infection? Is this a sexually transmitted disease? Should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

It's okay if it's mild, just pay attention to hygiene.
