Which disinfectant can i use to clean my body especially around the penis area, scrotum, pelvis after engaging in sex inorder to avoid bacterial or fungal infections for the skin?

Wash up with simple soaps and hope for the best. STD's are transferred in the fluids of sexual activity and only require brief contact during sex. If you don't want a STD, avoid sources that may have them. Aftercare is not likely to do anything beyond making you think your risk is lower.

Any antibacterial soap is good.

Soap and water is sufficient for washing after sex though it would not necessarily prevent infections. Get HPV vaccine. Safe sex: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/safer-sex-guidelines
