    Having a scratch wound on penis skin, can condom still be effective?
    Hi
    Perhaps there may be people already asked this question.

    I have a minor scratch wound on my penis skin (foreskin) and will be having sex soon.
    I don't know if the scratch wound will heal within 2-3 days and how I can make it heal faster.
    I would like to know if condom usage is still effectively preventing HIV/STD when having sex and having the scratch wound on my penis skin that's not completely healed.


    Thank you for advice in advance

    Having a scratch on your penis won't make any change in the condoms effectiveness. Keep in mind that the condom is not 100% effective on STDs or pregnancy. Only about 98%

    Good luck :)

    Thanks for answer.

    Will having the wound (not completely healed) on the penis skin make it more susceptible to STD/HIV when using condom? (like reducing the effectiveness of HIV/STD prevention by certain %)

    Is there any way to heal my scratch wound on the penis skin faster?

    Thanks again

    Not while using the condom.

    But you WILL be more susceptible withOUT the condom. Broken skin always makes it easier to contract. So make sure to use the condom .
