South Korea has generally high-quality medical services. Many contraceptive options can be purchased at pharmacies with no prescription (over-the-counter), though you will need a doctor's prescription for emergency contraception. While many facilities offer STI/STD tests, it is important to exercise caution and choose anonymous testing centers. If you are a foreigner and test positive for HIV/AIDS or syphilis, you will most likely be deported from South Korea.
