In Russia, contraception is widely available and can be purchased without a prescription. Emergency contraception requires a prescription yet appears informally available without one. You can receive STI/STD tests at many facilities, though you should be aware that foreigners who apply for long-term residency are expected to be HIV-negative (reports on the enforcement of this policy vary). There are some international hospitals and clinics, such as European Medical Center (EMC), that are widely used by foreigners. Abortion is legal for the first 12 weeks of gestation in Russia, and Russia has the highest per capita rate of abortions in the world. While abortion services at public hospitals are notably cheaper (and often free), the private hospitals will be more closely aligned with current medical standards (as advocated by WHO) and operate in more efficient manners. | In Russia, contraception is widely available; birth control pills and condoms can be purchased without a prescription.
