Take Care of Your Health with Us – Come and Get Tested!

Your health deserves attention and care. Regular testing for HIV, syphilis, and viral hepatitis B and C is a safe and responsible thing to do that can help detect hidden problems early. Testing is completely free, anonymous and conducted in a confidential setting. We’re here for everyone – including those who have recently moved to the Czech Republic or have been granted temporary protection.

Our goal is to protect the health of individuals and the whole community, which is why this project is carried out in cooperation with the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic. Testing also includes professional counselling to help you understand the results and give you advice on what to do next.

Why Is Testing Important?

If you’re sexually active, have multiple partners, don’t always use protection, or come into contact with injectable drugs, testing is essential for your safety and the safety of your loved ones. Many infections have no symptoms but can lead to serious health complications later. Early diagnosis means a chance of effective treatment – and peace of mind.

What Should You Know:

  • HIV: The virus is transmitted through blood, sexual contact, and from mother to child. It compromises the immune system if left untreated, but modern therapies enable HIV-positive people to live full and healthy lives.
  • Syphilis: The disease may start with a small sore, but later progresses to damage blood vessels and nerves. It can be cured with antibiotics.
  • Hepatitis B: The disease can damage the liver, but is treatable and preventable by vaccination.
  • Hepatitis C: The virus is transmitted through the blood and sometimes through sexual intercourse. Chronic infection can lead to serious liver damage, but it can now be treated effectively.

    • Important Information for Your Peace of Mind

    A positive test result will NOT get you deported from the Czech Republic or fired from your job! On the contrary – early care and treatment protect both you and your loved ones. Your health status will remain confidential and your dignity will be respected. In the Czech Republic, treatment for sexually transmitted infections is covered by public health insurance.

    How Does Testing Work?

    The entire process is quick and discreet. A finger prick blood sample takes just a few seconds and you will get your results within 15 minutes. Your trust is very important to us, so no one will ask you for your name or any other personal details.

    We Are Here for You!

    To make the testing experience more comfortable and supportive, we offer food and hygiene packages worth CZK 500–1000. For mothers with children, we provide baby diapers and clothes as needed.
