s.a.m. home-sampling-test: No time to wait? We can send the test kit to your home. More Infos here! 

HIV-Auto-test: You can purchase an HIV-Auto-test from us or from any pharmacy and just do the test yourself. Should you require assistance carrying out the out the test or you do not want to face the test result alone, please book an appointment with us and we will support you. 

Important Information for On-Site testing service
 

● If you had an HIV-Risk-Encounter in the last 48 hours, you might want to consider PEP. If you are unsure what a risk encounter is please call us or the nationwide hotline of Aidshilfe. 

● Sometimes the fear for HIV and STI is bigger than the actual risk. In order to assess your risk properly and to give you competent advice we will conduct a counselling session prior to the test. 

● The diagnostic gap for our HIV- and Syphilis Rapid Tests is 12 weeks, for Hepatitis C 10 weeks and for Gonnorhea and Chlamydia 10-14 days. The diagnostic gap describes how many days you should wait between risk encounter and test. The gap is shorter when using our home sampling service s.a.m. !

● We are using HIV-, Syphilis- and Hepatitis C-Rapid-Tests. That means you will receive the test results wihtin 30 minutes. For Gonorrohea nad Chlamydia testing we are sending your samples to a lab and you will receive your results after three working days. 

● If you already have symptoms of an STI (e.g. discharge, itchyness or lesions in your gential area), we recommend going to a doctor's practice. STI test is part of your statutory health insurance.   

● If you are interested in taking PrEP we can refer you to different doctor practices in Berlin and Brandenburg. You will do all the necessary tests at the doctor. PrEP is available to people with statutory health insurcance as well as for people who pay privately. Contact us and we advise you accordingly.
