Some thoughts...: If needing a condom, having an expired condom is 1000 times better than having no condom. Thus, no worries. Secondly, people who worry this much about a condom should consider and use other means of STD avoidance or pregnancy avoidance, and not engage in sexual activities until such avoidance plans are effectively in place. One's primary care doctor can order routine STD screening tests if needed.

Might leak: The listed "use by" date is primarily one to assure the integrity of the latex. It might have a tendency to break/ leak if used after this date. If you are concerned about an STD get evaluated.
