Expired condom
Hey I had a brief sex for a minute with an Escort! I used a latex condom! Condom stayed on and did not break( tested after putting water in it). But then I realized the condom I used was expired last month in April and I used it on May 8th. My question is can it cause hiv infection, as latex on the condom might have started to dry. Should I get tested for hiv? Another question is what are the chances of her getting pregnant with that expired condom which didn't break or tear. Thank you!
Thanks for the reply! Still curious about any micro holes which could start forming after the expiry date? Or that's not the possibility...its just the risk of breakage after the expiry date?

The risk of using expired condoms is simply that they have a higher chance of breakage. If the condom did not break, it did its job and you were protected from HIV... and pregnancy.
