Services
We are here for you. No strings attached!
HIV/STI test
We offer anonymous HIV tests as well as tests for Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Chlamydia and Hepatitis C. We charge between €5–25 depending on your choice of tests. A free HIV/STI test is available to anyone with a low income.
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. In case of a positive diagnosis, we also provide treatment at Checkpoint BLN.
PrEP
PrEP is a way to reliably protect against HIV infection by preventatively taking medication.
Via video call, we can guide you through all considerations relating to PrEP, such as the different ways to take it and possible side effects, to support you in deciding whether PrEP is right for you.
If you decide to start PrEP, we’ll together determine where you should best obtain it – depending on your circumstances, that may be a doctor’s office near you or Checkpoint BLN.
PEP
In the heat of the moment, accidents can happen. Forgot to take your PrEP? Skipped the condom, or it broke?
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-Thu 3pm-8pm
Treatment
If you have symptoms of a sexually transmitted infection, we can test and treat you at Checkpoint.
Please book an appointment with our reception, daily from 2 p.m. under the following number: +49 30 40 36 46 10.
Vaccination
We vaccinate against Hepatitis A and B, as well as against monkeypox/MPX.
Appointments for monkeypox/MPX vaccination are released weekly on this website.
Just Talk
Do you have questions or concerns about your sexual health? Do you want to check in on your sex life, your risks or your substance use? We’re here to listen and assist, anonymously and without any judgement – either on site or via video call from the comfort of your home.
