When Is Intercourse Advisable For A Patient After Treating Genital Warts?
Question: Quick question Doc.
I just had two genital warts burned off with acid .
It formed a black scab , and now ( one week after ) that black scab is mostly gone
and you see a light pink wound that is healing . the wound is right above the penis shaft . That area is light pink and looks as if it was a bit moist.
My question is when is it safe to have sex with someone ( using a condom ) who lets say is HIV positive ( Female ) ? How long should I wait ?

I am not sure if you understood my question .
I understand the condom part , yes I always use a condom .
But my question is that I have a relatively fresh wound
which will get some vaginal fluid during sex.
Can you get hiv through a wound like the one I described ?

Brief Answer:
With healing wound it is not possible.

Dear XXXXXXX
Welcome back and thanks for follow-up.
If the wound is healing and closed then the risk of getting HIV is not there even if infected fluid comes in contact with. It is only possible when the wound is open or there is any other cut on penis.
You can take some precaution while removing the condom after having sex so that no infected fluid will come in contact with the wound or penis. For any further query you can get back to me again.
