Bridgetown: Difference between revisions

In Barbados, you can access many forms of contraceptives, such as condoms and birth control pills, without a prescription. They are available at pharmacies, clinics, and the Barbados Family Planning Association (BFPA). For other methods of contraception, such as IUDs or contraceptive shots, you can contact health care providers or BFPA to find how to access them. You can find emergency contraceptive pills (morning after pills) available at hospitals, clinics, or pharmacies, and a prescription is rarely required. While the law may state that a prescription is required, this appears to be rarely enforced. There are no known travel or residency restrictions related to foreigners who are HIV-positive, meaning that anybody can visit or reside in Barbados, regardless of their HIV status. You can find Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) in Barbados -- but, as of September 2018, we cannot find any evidence of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) being available. The HPV vaccine is available, and there is a nationwide HPV vaccination program. You can find medications for yeast infections, as well as other infections, at pharmacies. There are also tampons and pads/pantyliners for sale in pharmacies and markets, but menstrual cups are only available from a select group of sellers.
