If you have a infection on a penis can erections spread infection to blood?

Erection does not increase risk of sepsis or other complications. You might have a serious infection, however. See the reply to your other question.

No infection does not spread that way. During erection more blood gets into the penis. The infection on the surface does not penetrate int area of erection.
