Comitetul Olimpic Internațional a pregătit un stoc de 160.000 de prezervative pentru următoarele jocuri olimpice de la Tokyo. Însă acum Comitetul îndeamnă sportivii să nu folosească prezervative în Japonia. Marți, Comitetul de Organizare a Olimpiadei de la Tokyo a transmis că speră ca prezervativele să !ajute la conștientizare". Obiceiul de a împărți prezervative la Jocurile Olimpice a început în 1988, cu scopul de a promova sexul în siguranță și prevenția față de HIV. Deși 160.000 de prezervative pregătite la Tokyo par a fi multe, nu se compară cu numărul cumulat la Rio De Janeiro.
