HIV Testing and STI Consultation

Topics concerning sexual health, like sexually transmitted infections and contraception, are often taboo in our society. At the same time, sexually transmitted infections like HIV, syphilis or chlamydia can often be present without immediately causing symptoms, meaning they remain undetected and are thus spread. Knowledge about how to prevent or treat these infections is an important part of living a health consciousness life and thus shouldn't be avoided due to the taboos surrounding sexual health. 

The studierendenWERK BERLIN, in cooperation with the Center for Sexual Health and Family Planning, offers a free consultation about HIV and other STIs (sexually transmitted infections), individual transmission probablity and preventative options. 

Additionally, we offer anonymous testing for HIV (blood/laboratory test). The offer is allocated on a "First Come, First Serve" basis. Those wanting to rule out an HIV infection should get tested no earlier than six weeks after having been in a situation that could lead to an infection (e.g. unprotected penetrative sex, shared usage of needles or other injecting equipment).

We also offer a table with diverse information on contraceptives and safer sex, free condoms and information on cost absorption for contraceptives by the city of Berlin.
