I've been noticing random cuts on my penis skin during sex, and also, my partner experiences a burning sensation around the opening of her vagina. Could this be a serious issue? I sometimes don't use protection, so Im worried. Also, I was wondering if home testing kits can give wrong results. Could you give me some advice on what to do here?
The random cuts on your penis skin and your partner's burning sensation around the vaginal opening during sex could be indicative of a sexually transmitted infection (STI), such as herpes, HPV, or genital warts, or other conditions like genital eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis; the lack of protection during sex increases the risk of STI transmission; regarding the accuracy of STI test kits, while they are generally reliable, there is a small chance of false negatives or false positives, so it's essential to consult a urologist
