testingweek

WHAT IS TESTING WEEK?

It's an opportunity to talk about HIV and other STIs, and to get tested if you haven't had a test in a while.

Even if you always use condoms and have no symptoms, you may be carrying a sexually transmitted infection without knowing it. European Testing Week is an opportunity to talk about STIs with others and with your health professionals.

From November 20 to 26, a number of associations and structures are offering free screening opportunities. These include asbl exaequo, plateforme prévention sida, aide info sida and many others throughout the Wallonia-Brussels region. Some centers offer screening beyond November 26, and you can find the full list at the bottom of this page.

As a reminder, it is also still possible to request screening from general practitioners, family planning centres and specialised HIV and STI centres.

Find all the information on STIs and screening on this page!
