Emergency contraception is only available by prescription only. It is estimated that 11% of Indonesian women of reproductive age have knowledge of EC and that 0.3% have ever used it.<ref>[http://www.cecinfo.org/country-by-country-information/status-availability-database/countries/indonesia/ EC Status and Availability, Indonesia]</ref>
Based on one study, it appeared that Indonesian health care professionals support keeping it prescription-only: "Although most participants were familiar with EC, only 22% received a very good knowledge score (4 or 5/5 answers correct), while 52% received a poor score (0–2/5 correct). Most participants did not support the OTC availability of EC (70%). Logistic regression identified that participants who prescribed EC had an Odds of 3.8 (95% CI 1.90, 7.73) of approving OTC EC, after adjustment for age and speciality."<ref>[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1079896/ Do Indonesian medical practitioners approve the availability of emergency contraception over-the-counter?]


===What to Get & Where to Get It===
===What to Get & Where to Get It===


'''Note:''' The most effective emergency contraceptive is currently [http://www.ellaone.com/ ellaOne]. It lasts up to 5 days after unprotected sex. Other EC brands are generally effective up to 3 days with occasional protection up to 5 days. So check to see if your country carries ellaOne. If your country doesn't carry ellaOne, copper IUDs may also prevent pregnancy for up to 5 days after unprotected sex. If none of these options are available, look for regular EC, which may sometimes protect you for up to 5 days. Note that EC pills are not 100% effective, and they should be taken as soon as possible.

In Indonesia, there is one brand of EC on the market: Postinor-2 (take 2 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex). If you cannot obtain Postinor-2, you can use some oral contraceptives as EC. To do this, if you have Levonorgestrel Pill, Microgynon, Microgynon-30 or Nordette, t ake 4 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex and take 4 more pills 12 hours later.

====Testing Facilities====
* Angsamerah: High-quality and affordable. HIV and STD check-up. At Angsamerah, HIV test is around Rp300,000 (including Rp30,000 for administration fee, Rp200,000 for mandatory doctor appointment, Rp20,000 for the needle and Rp50,000 for the test). For Gonorrhea/Chlamydia, the test is an additional Rp50,000 to Rp80,000 each. You can get a full package including HIV, Syphilis and Urethral Discharge (+ doctor appointment) for Rp370,000.
* [http://www.biomedika.co.id BioMedika]: Also has locations in Bali, BSD, Tangerang. A bit more expensive than Angsamerah. HIV Test: Rp382,500. Doctor consultation not required..

* [http://www.prodia.co.id/Lokasi Prodia]: "The price for HIV testing is Rp391,000 but, surprisingly, you need to bring a note from your doctor. I don't really understand the point of this, especially considering they do not require it for other STDs check up." Chlamydia test (IGM OR IGG) costs Rp727,000.Herpes test IGM I: Rp352,000 and IGM II: Rp318,000.
* [https://www.internationalsos.com/countryguide/medreferral.aspx?languageid=ENG&countryid=65&mrcityid=938 International SOS]: "Many expats prefer going to International SOS because it is their employer's recommended clinic. The standards are supposed to be better but the prices are much higher. Since they don't have their own laboratory, it also take a long time to receive the results. You must do a consultation with their own doctor prior to the test. The price is Rp368,000 (for a General Practitioner) + Rp49,000 for Administration fee (Rp24,000 if you already are a client). Based on the doctor's recommendation, you should pay the following, approximately: HIV test: Rp550,000. Chlamydia screening: Between Rp500,000 and Rp1,100,000. Herpes: Rp1,500,000."
* [http://www.globaldoctor.co.id/ Global Doctor]: Doctor consultation required: Rp288,000 + Administration fee (Rp40,000). HIV test: Rp543,000 or Rp1,121,000 (depending on the test)
