In Switzerland, you can obtain contraception, and you can purchase condoms without a prescription. However, you will need a prescription for most forms of contraception, such as pills or an intra-uterine device (IUD). Emergency contraceptive pills (morning after pills) are available in pharmacies, and no prescription is required. You can get an STI test at various clinics and health centers, and there are organizations and health groups that offer STI education and support. Abortion is fully legal and available upon request in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.
