In Hungary, you can find many health care resources. While you need a prescription for most forms of contraception, you can find birth control pills, shots, implants and rings (i.e. Nuvaring). Condoms are available in pharmacies. You also need a prescription for emergency contraception (the morning after pill), though if you can't access a prescription, you can use regular birth control pills as replacement EC or get an IUD inserted instead. We provide more information in the "Emergency Contraception (Morning After Pill)" section. Regarding STIs, there are no travel restrictions for short-term visitors, however you may be required to take an HIV test if you plan to stay longer than 3 months. If you test positive, you will not necessarily be expelled from the country. You can find pads, tampons and some menstrual cups (such as MoonCup) in Budapest. If you're a Hungarian citizen or legal Hungarian resident, you can legally obtain an abortion for up to 12 weeks of pregnancy. | |||
