My remained stitches were pretty sharp pieces of thread, so I wouldn't use condom - they can tear up it. I would suggest to remove them, after 8 weeks your scar is definitely healed, so should be safe. If they are not loose and you cannot do this yourself, just go to a doctor. I think it's not healthy to have them for so long anyway.
