 h English (en)Ireland has taken important steps related to family planning in the last few decades. Since 1980, birth control has been legal and, since 2011, emergency contraception (the morning after pill) is available over the counter. The Irish Family Planning Association (IFPA) provides many educational and health resources to the general public, as well. There are a few sites in Dublin that provide free HIV tests, and you can also get at-home kits for STI tests from IFPA. While there is currently no major PrEP program in Ireland, you can access PEP at many locations throughout the country. There is a national HPV vaccination program as well. The abortion laws in Ireland are very strict, however, and they're some of the most restrictive in the world. Currently, a woman can only receive an abortion if the pregnancy endangers her life, and women who obtain illegal abortions can face fourteen years in prison (or, in Northern Ireland, life in prison). For these reasons, if a woman is pregnant and seeks an abortion, it is highly advised that she seeks one in the [[United Kingdom]] rather than in Ireland.
