If you are 25 years old and visiting Turkey, you can access most sexual health services as a non-resident, though some may require payment.
Where to Go
- Public hospitals and state clinics – Open to non-residents; fees are usually lower than private options.
- Private hospitals and clinics – Faster service and English-speaking staff; costs vary.
- Pharmacies (Eczane) – Over-the-counter condoms, emergency contraception, and some STI treatments.
Common Services Available
- STI testing and treatment (HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis)
- Contraception (condoms, birth-control pills, IUD insertion)
- Emergency contraception (morning-after pill)
- HIV post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) within 72 hours of exposure

Important Tips
- Bring your passport for identification at clinics.
- Many private clinics have English-speaking staff; public clinics may need a translator app.
- Payment is typically cash or credit card; travel insurance may reimburse costs.
- Confidentiality rules apply—your visit is private.
