Qatar: Difference between revisions

In Qatar, birth control pills and condoms available without a prescription. There is no emergency contraception (the morning after pill) available in Qatar, but you can use regular oral contraceptives (birth control pills) as replacement emergency contraception. Check out the "Emergency Contraception" section for details. STD/STI tests are common, and they are required if you wish to be a long-term resident, if you're pregnant, and in other cases. If you're a foreigner and found to be HIV positive, you may be deported. It is illegal to be an unmarried pregnant woman in Qatar. If you are pregnant and married, you will want to consider whether you will receive treatment and deliver the child in a public or private hospital, as different restrictions apply to the public ones. Abortion is generally illegal, except for in very rare cases, so it is best to seek an abortion outside of Qatar.
