Current information

Since January 2026, we have been offering laboratory tests (chlamydia, gonorrhoea) in addition to our rapid tests (HIV, syphilis, HCV). In order to secure the additional testing capacity in terms of personnel, we are currently in the process of hiring additional staff at the checkpoint and training them for the necessary tasks. Of course, this cannot be done overnight. Until everything is running smoothly, we need to structure our time capacities and processes well. Therefore, until further notice, we can only offer testing by appointment. By autumn 2026 at the latest, we hope to resume testing/consultation hours without appointments.
