In Malaysia, you can purchase birth control pills without a prescription. You will also find many other contraceptive options, including injectables/shots, implants and IUDs. You can also purchase emergency contraception (the morning after pill) without a prescription. While you can get STI tests at many facilities, if you are a foreigner, it's important that you understand laws around HIV status. If you are a foreigner on a student or work visa, and if you're found to be HIV positive, you will probably be deported from Malaysia. You can find PrEP and PEP in Kuala Lumpur. You can also find Gardasil, an HPV vaccine. While pads are the most common in Malaysia, you can find tampons and even some menstrual cups sold in larger cities, like Kuala Lumpur. According to Malaysian law, women receive 60 days of maternity leave with 100% of wage coverage. Finally, regarding abortion, it is only permitted in certain circumstances that do not include general availability upon request. For this reason, many women obtain abortions through clandestine providers or travel to other countries to obtain abortions. | |||
