At the MOIN Checkpoint, we offer free HIV tests, thanks to the generous support of ViiV. Our testing packages can be customised, and in addition to the here listed tests, further examinations are also available to you.
Our prices are already heavily discounted thanks to our sponsors, but to ensure that our testing services are accessible to everyone, we offer additional discounts that depend on your individual social circumstances. Feel free to contact us in advance or on-site to find out more.
The timing for testing and diagnostics depends on the specific infection, as different sexually transmitted infections (STIs) require different periods of time before they can be reliably detected in a test:
HIV: An HIV test is usually reliable about 6 weeks after a potential risk exposure. A rapid test (from capillary blood) is considered reliable after around 12 weeks.
Chlamydia and gonorrhoea: These can usually be tested for after 1 to 2 weeks.
Syphilis: Testing for syphilis is advisable around 2 to 4 weeks after contact.
Hepatitis B and C: These can be tested for after approximately 1 to 4 months.
If you have symptoms, testing at an earlier stage may also be appropriate.
Tests carried out too early can produce false results. During our consultation, we ask about these details and put together the appropriate tests on an individual basis.
