Contraception, such as the birth control pill, is accessible in pharmacies without a prescription.

For this reason, exercise caution and conduct research before buying EC. There are some menstrual cups available for purchase in Lima, and many medications are available as well. Peru is also one of the few countries that have PrEP trials in place. Perhaps the most severe of restrictions is tied to abortion. Abortion is illegal under all but very special circumstances, causing many Peruvian women to endure unsafe, underground abortions, and putting them at risk of imprisonment. | ||
