Copenhagen: Difference between revisions

Denmark offers a range of options for sexual and reproductive health care, and all legal residents (such as citizens, EU residents, people with residence permits, people with student visas) are entitled to free health care services.<ref>[http://www.hiv-danmark.dk/index.php?id=ctd HIV Danmark - General Information]</ref> While many forms of contraception, such as birth control pills and IUDs, require a prescription, one can obtain condoms in supermarkets, pharmacies, health centers and kiosks without a prescription. Emergency contraceptive pills (morning after pills) are available at pharmacies and no prescription is required. There are also no age restrictions. There are no travel or residency restrictions related to foreigners with HIV/AIDS, and foreigners who test positive for HIV will not be deported. PEP is available in Norway, and all citizens or residents with a health card can receive free HIV treatment. There is a nationwide HPV vaccination program as well. Like many other Scandinavian countries, Denmark offers superior parental leave options compared to global standards, which can be reviewed in the "Pregnancy" section. Finally, abortion is fully legal upon request during the first trimester of pregnancy, and it is available under certain circumstances after the first trimester. However, it should be noted that parental consent is required for minors.
