'''OVERVIEW'''  


Singapore is an incredibly international facility with some of the best health care in in Southeast Asia. While you can access many health services, they often involve some level of restriction, especially if you are not a Singaporean citizen. Contraception is legal although a prescription is required. If you're under 16, it's entirely illegal to purchase contraception due to the strictly enforced age of consent at 16 years old. Emergency contraception is also available and a prescription is required, which is only available to women over 16 years old.

Regarding STIs, the government requires that all test results are reported to them. However, some facilities are legally allowed to offer confidential and anonymous STI tests and these are the facilities that we strongly recommend. Until recently, it was illegal to enter the country if you were diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. You may now legally travel to Singapore with HIV/AIDS but you are not allowed to immigrate or take up long-term residency. You can access Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) but not Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) in Singapore.
