This is a test. Next I am including the second section from the Taiwan article:
===Laws & Social Stigmas===
Taiwanese people are understanding and strongly respect other people's privacy. There are low stigmas, as your health and way of life is your thing alone. For example, LGBT issues are not very polarizing in Taiwan and the LGBT community is making peaceful progress as awareness grows. The respect of social peace is expected from everyone at a level close to Japanese standards. Also, noise, drunkenness and aggressive behavior are deeply despised. It is known to be a very safe place for women.
What to Get & Where to Get It
Pharmacies are accessible and prices are low compared to western economies.
Cost
The National Health Insurance (NHI) delivers universal coverage offered by a government-run insurer to all citizens. The NHI is a single-payer compulsory social insurance plan which centralizes the disbursement of healthcare funds. The system promises equal access to healthcare for all citizens, and the population coverage had reached 99% by the end of 2004. The NHI provides cheap access to cares.
Short stays
Costs are low and service is good compared to western economies. Due to the low Doctors-for-population rate, most consultations are really speedy, about 2-5 minutes, for physicians as for specialists.
Long stays
Foreigners with long term stays may join in the NHI under some conditions.
And now the first:
In Taiwan, you can purchase birth control without a prescription. While you need a prescription for emergency contraception (the morning after pill), you can use regular birth control as replacement ECPs. For more information on how to do this, you can visit the "Emergency Contraception (The Morning After Pill)" below. Regarding STIs, there are no travel restrictions related HIV status, and if you're a foreigner who tests HIV-positive, you will not be deported from Taiwan. If you are interested in getting an STI test, we have also found some recommended and LGBTQ-friendly testing services. You can find pads and tampons in Taiwan, although pads are generally more common than tampons. If you would like to buy a menstrual cup, the product is generally new to Taiwan, however some brands are either forming in Taiwan or shipping to Taiwan. Abortion is legal in some cases, as detailed in the "Abortion" section below. The "abortion pill" is available in Taiwan upon prescription (if one qualifies for the medication).
