There is no PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) in Vietnam. The closest country that appears to have this is [[Thailand]].

* For details on PrEP and PEP, visit the "Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs/STDs)" section of this page
There seems to be PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis) in Vietnam: According to UNAIDS: " In such cases, there is PEP at some private clinics if the person can afford, such as the Family Medical Practice clinics in Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh City."<ref>[http://unaids.org.vn/en/frequently-asked-questions/ Frequently Asked Questions: Vietnam]</ref> Furthermore, "Mylan Pharmaceuticals donated a supply of tenofovir/emtricitabine tablets to provide free post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) after high-risk sexual exposure to HIV in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City."<ref>[http://carmah.vn/partners.html Carmah]</ref>
* If you have a yeast infection, try to say "Nhiễm nấm âm đạo" (can someone confirm if this is correct?). If you go to a pharmacy, you can ask for "Canesten." This is basically the Asian version of Monistat. Note that you may receive a pill version, which means you have to insert pills into your vagina through an insertion device. The pills need to actually dissolve inside of you and, if they're clumpy at all, the pills may not work. So the pharmacists may also recommend that you buy some sort of vaginal lubricant/cleaner that will help dissolve and clean out the pills.
* If you have a urinary tract infection (UTI), you can try to say "nhiễm trùng đường tiết niệu," though we're not sure if this is accurate (can someone confirm?). If you go to a pharmacy, may be given Midasol at a Hanoi pharmacy. But first confirm that you have a UTI before you proceed wit medication.
