Some yeast is always present in a healthy vaginal flora but it becomes an infection when it becomes too dominant. Lots of things can throw off that balance: antibiotics and other medications, diet changes, hormonal changes, dirty/wet underwear, non-breathable fabrics, a dirty hand/toy/dick, sweat and heat, soaps. The list of ways to avoid them is probably shorter: breathable underwear, sanitary contact only, wash with water alone, never wash internally, stay hydrated.
