All 134 Australian athletes will be given free double-strength “super” condoms to protect them from sexually transmitted infections in Rio.
The Australian Olympic Committee has signed a deal with condom manufacturer Starpharma, which will provide more than 1500 special condoms with an added anti-viral lubricant thought to help protect against the Zika virus.
These double protection condoms will be free extras on top of the 450,000 garden variety condoms that will be available from vending machines on every corner of the Olympic village.
Zika virus can be transmitted to women during sex and they can stay contagious for up to six months.
