Our offer
Checkpoint BLN offers tests for HIV, syphilis, chlamydia and gonorrhea, as well as medical treatment for these infections. We also offer counseling regarding sexual health, substance use and queer topics.
We are here for you. No strings attached!
We’re here for you – despite Corona
For your protection, we are limiting the amount of people present on site.
Therefore pre-test or treatment consultations take place via telephone or video call. Please book an appointment for a video call, in which we will answer your questions, discuss what needs to be done and give you an appointment to come by.
The following services are currently only available after an initial video-consultation:
– PrEP Check
– HIV/STI testing
– Counseling
PrEP
PrEP is an effective protection against an HIV-infection. PrEP stands for pre-exposure prophylaxis and is a medication that is both used in the therapy and prevention of HIV.
We will give you information on how to take PrEP, its’ possible side effects and everything else you need to consider.
Checkpoint BLN offers PrEP prescriptions, individual PrEP counseling and all the necessary preliminary and accompanying examinations for people with or without health insurance. For people without health insurance costs between 35 and 60 € might occur.
Unfortunately, we are currently unable to include any additional people in our PrEP program.
If you already receive the PrEP from us, we will of cause continue to take care of you – all scheduled appointments remain valid.
HIV/STI
Before testing, we will inform you about the test procedure, answer your questions on the transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STI) and discuss safer sex strategies. If we detect a STI or HIV infection, we can start treatment immediately at Checkpoint BLN.
We will first discuss via video call which tests make sense for you and then schedule an appointment for the tests on site. You can book an appointment for the consultation online.
Sometimes accidents happen even though you practice safer sex. You’ve forgotten to take your PrEP, a condom broke, came off or you’ve just not used one.
In those situations PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) has a high probability of preventing a HIV infection. The treatment with PEP should start as soon as possible and within 48 hours at the latest.
Don’t hesitate and visit us as soon as possible: Mon-Fri 2pm-8pm
Treatment
Please book an appointment with our colleagues at the reception, daily from 2 p.m. under the following number: 030 40 36 46 10.
Just talk
