Get checked for STD: The risks of using a condom pass the expiration date are the same risks as have unprotected sexual intercourse. A condom passed the expiration date may or may not provide protection from sexually transmitted disease (STD). Condoms do provide good protection for pregnancy. Even prior to expiration date, condoms are only ~60% effective as birth control. Get checked for STD. Use more reliable BC

No additional risk: BUT remember even a non expired condom is not 100%. Good idea to not use old expired condoms but if it didn't break all risks the same admin expired condom
