HIV/STI Laboratory Tests

Checkpoint MVZ Konstanz: End of Partnership with the Public Health Department of the District of Konstanz – New HIV/STI Testing Service Coming Soon

As of 31 March 2026, the long‑standing and successful cooperation between the Public Health Department of the District of Konstanz and the Checkpoint MVZ Konstanz will come to an end.

This change is due to a state-wide directive from the Ministry of Social Affairs, Health and Integration of Baden-Württemberg, under which the Public Health Department is transitioning to the new specialised application ÖGDigital and adjusting internal processes accordingly. According to the Public Health Department, access to this system is restricted exclusively to staff members and official devices of the Constance District Office. At present, a data‑protection‑compliant technical connection for external partners – including AidsHilfe Konstanz – is not possible and not planned.

Despite this development, we remain very optimistic. We are working intensively to ensure that we can continue offering free and anonymous counseling as well as laboratory testing for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) at Checkpoint MVZ Konstanz. A few organisational details are still being finalised, but we are already excited and proud to soon provide you with an independent, standalone service.

We expect to offer the first appointments starting June/July 2026. This page will be updated regularly, and we will inform you as soon as registration opens. In the meantime, you are very welcome to use the free and anonymous rapid testing services (HIV, syphilis, hepatitis C) at our other Checkpoint locations in Konstanz and Singen.

 Thank you for your understanding and for the trust you place in us.
