Sorry we are fully booked!

HIV/STI specialists
Are you experiencing symptoms of a sexually transmitted infection (STI) or were you notified of a recent transmission risk? Are you insured in Germany or the EU? Is anonymity not a requirement for you?
In that case, you can get tested and treated in doctors’ offices. Having a regular doctor in your neighborhood is especially recommended if you are permanently in Berlin.

Anonymous tests
The municipal center for sexual health (“Zentrum für sexuelle Gesundheit”) offers anonymous HIV/STI tests for everyone, primarily at their locations in Mitte and Kreuzberg.
You can also get tested at the Berliner Aids-Hilfe and at Mann-o-Meter (for men & trans MSM).
Unfortunately, the anonymous testing centers are often at capacity. Costs: approx. EUR 10–25.
At-home tests
HIV rapid tests are available at pharmacies and drug stores for around EUR 30. These tests provide reliable results three months after a risk of infection.
Do you want to test yourself for HIV and other STIs regularly from home? If you sign up for s.a.m health and complete an initial counseling session, you can then order test kits via SMS and mail them in for analysis.
