condoms leak ?

hi

recently i heard 2 things that made me think about HIV and post again

1. condoms with spermicide. many brands stopped producing condoms with spermicide cause they are increasing the risk if HIV. if they are made of latex, where did this question of increasing risk of HIV cause the spermicide chemicals are irritating the skin membranes and thus making them susciptible for HIV

2. condoms expired . when condoms expire do they increase the risk of breakage or do  they result in more pores obviously leaking ?

3. are there any cases of HIV infection with condom used sex ?

thanks vance and teak :)

just read somewhere that the compound N9 irritates vagina and membranes on the male side and hence increases the risk of HIV more

may be they ar just refering to the case where it irritates and then condom breaks

anyway, i think im safe but still cant get it out of my mind :(

N-9 which is the spermcide does not increase the risk, but it was thought to once help prevent STD's and HIV. That was proven wrong.
