Fancy spring? Spring check! HIV, syphilis, gonorrhoea and chlamydia - get tested now!
Regular testing is part of this: We recommend it, go for an HIV test at least once a year. Take this opportunity to get tested for other sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhoea, syphilis and chlamydia. You can find test centres from, for example, AIDS service organisations, gay projects and health authorities.
My choice. Your respect.
Those who want to HIV protects - regardless of the safer sex method - deserves respect. Insults, marginalisation and discrimination, on the other hand, have no place when it comes to safer sex. That's why we have launched the Safer Sex 3.0 campaign this year under the motto "My choice. Your respect." .
We also promote a self-confident approach to the chosen method. Of course, it can happen that you are rejected because the other person doesn't like your safer sex method. If this happens to you, you shouldn't be annoyed. After all, this is not a personal rejection.
