Vietnam has many women's health resources. Contraceptives, including emergency contraceptives, are legal and do not require a prescription. There are a plethora of pharmacies throughout the city though you may struggle to find certain international brands. Since the 1960s, the North Vietnamese government has advocated family planning -- and, after reunification in 1975, family planning policies extended throughout the country. There is a 2-child policy that has remained in place for decades, although this policy seems to be on its way out. Nowadays in Vietnam, you can get STI tests at many hospitals and clinics. However, if you're a foreigner or don't speak Vietnamese, it's recommended that you visit an international facility (list of such facilities below). You can find both pads and tampons, typically without applicators (like OB), at many markets and stores. Furthermore, abortion is fully legal for up to 22 weeks of pregnancy, and there are no known restrictions related to age or reasons. Due to its high prevalence, Vietnam has been called the "abortion capital" of Asia, a title that has also been given to [[China]]. You will find that both surgical and medical abortion options are available, and there are many resources, including international organizations like Marie Stopes, that can help you identify the appropriate services. | Vietnam has many women's health resources.

'''Important Notes - Learn about PEP and PrEP:''' If you think that you've been recently exposed to HIV (i.e. within 72 hours), seek out PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis). It's a month-long treatment to prevent HIV infection after exposure, and it may be available in your city. Take PEP as soon as possible. For more information, click [https://www.aids.gov/hiv-aids-basics/prevention/reduce-your-risk/post-exposure-prophylaxis/ here].

There are no known travel restrictions or requirements attached to any STI, including HIV, in Vietnam. For foreigners seeking work, especially teaching, there are some reports of schools asking for health checks (especially agencies that recruit from public ones). However, health checks are not required by authorities in order to receive a work permit. Important Note: There is a decree requiring HIV positives to report to the immigration officer. However, the ordinance is not applied. None of my friends have ever declared their condition.

Note: While this is an unverified, a Hanoi pharmacist has told us that yeast infections in Vietnam are fairly common due to the low-quality tap water. When women wash or douche themselves with the water, they may develop yeast infections. While this cannot be entirely avoided, it's something to remember. | |||
In Vietnam, abortion became fully legal since reunification in 1975. Since that time, and especially since the 1980s, the country has had a rather high abortion rate. Between 1982 and 1994, the abortion rates rose six-fold. In 1996, the abortion rate was 83.3 abortions per 1000 women. In 2014, it was reported that 40% of pregnancies end in abortion. As reported: "Sexual behaviour among young Vietnamese has radically transformed in the last few decades -- they have sex earlier and marry later -- but the state's old-fashioned family planning services offer little advice or suitable contraception to young, unmarried couples, experts say.As a result they suspect that abortion -- permitted up to 22 weeks and widely available, particularly at legal but largely unregulated private clinics -- is being used to prevent unwanted pregnancies more often than in other countries." <ref>[http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/afp/article-2848236/Sky-high-abortions-Vietnam-family-planning-excludes-youth.html Sky-high abortions in Vietnam as family planning excludes youth]</ref> | In Vietnam, abortion became fully legal since reunification in 1975.

==Menstruation== | |||
===Laws & Social Stigmas=== | |||
There is little social stigma attached to menstruation in Vietnam, where both pads and tampons are available. But there is not yet widespread knowledge of alternative menstrual products, like menstrual cups or menstrual underwear. The country does not have a massive range of international or foreign brands, so these products are not yet on Vietnam's radar. But this could easily change in the coming years as the economy grows and the government continues to ease restrictions on foreign investment. | |||

* You should be able to find pads and tampons without applicators (e.g. OB) at many stores in Hanoi. In mini-markets, like VinMart, you'll definitely be able to find pads. At Circle K (mini-market chain), there seems to be non-applicator tampons (Tampax and Helen Harper). | |||
* If you want a wider selection of tampons, it's recommended to check out grocery stores or larger convenience stores. In particular, you should check out L's Place, Circle K, the pharmacy in Syrena Shopping Center and Vinmart in Times City (carries some Japanese tampons). | |||
* One of the biggest stores (a hyper-store, actually) in Hanoi is called Big-C Supermarket; it has a few locations in the city and seems to sell virtually everything. | |||
* As a warning, some (not all) tampons in Hanoi may be scented -- so check the labeling if you want scent-free. | |||

Abortion is fully legal for up to 22 weeks of pregnancy. All reasons for an abortion, including to save the life of the woman, to preserve physical health, or mental health, rape or incest, fetal impairment, social/economic reasons, or available upon request, are all considered valid. As stated in the Law on Protection of People's Health (1989), "Women have the rights to have abortion; to receive gynecological diagnosis and treatment; and health check-up during pregnancy; and medical service when giving birth at health facilities.” There are three administrative levels that perform abortions in Vietnam, depending on the stage of the pregnancy: 1) For 6-22 weeks, central and provincial hospitals 2) 6-12 weeks, district health stations and 3) up to 6 weeks at communal health centers (and, in some cases, private clinics, if they meet certain criteria). | |||
In Vietnam, abortion became fully legal since reunification in 1975. Since that time, and especially since the 1980s, the country has had a rather high abortion rate. Between 1982 and 1994, the abortion rates rose six-fold. In 1996, the abortion rate was 83.3 abortions per 1000 women. In 2014, it was reported that 40% of pregnancies end in abortion.

The abortion pill is available at [http://www.vietnammedicalpractice.com/ Family Medical Practice Vietnam]. All the doctors are Western or Western-trained. Ask for a doctor specializing in women's health. The pharmacy at the Hanoi location is located within the clinic. The appointment, ultrasound, and medicine will cost around $200 USD. Total for the pill and pain killers is about $25 USD. Very professional, clean, quick, and comfortable experience. | |||
