Carrying out the tests, providing detailed advice on sexual health and identifying findings that require treatment is just one aspect of the testing project.
In collaboration with Maastricht University and professors Dr. Daniel Deimel and Dr. Thorsten Köhler, the test project was scientifically supported right from the initial phase.
In addition, the project was evaluated as part of a dissertation by Farina Bergmann, which focused primarily on the question of achieving the correct target population and the influence of the corona pandemic on testing behavior in relation to STDs.
We are also dependent on your help for the scientific evaluation. Therefore, when you visit our test offer, there is also an anonymous, digital questionnaire that will be scientifically evaluated afterwards.
The project team is made up of various members who organize the evenings in alternating formations. We are also thankfully supported by volunteers who help organize the evenings.

Ever thought about PreP?
more informationA conspicuous test result does not necessarily always mean that therapy is necessary. In case of doubt, it can be a false positive test or – in the case of hepatitis C and syphilis – an infection that has already expired or has been treated and does not require further therapy. However, this should be checked more closely in a qualified practice or clinic.
No, a negative result does not rule out an existing infection with absolute certainty. If, for example, there was a risk contact a few days earlier, certain time intervals must be observed when interpreting the test results. A sufficient interval between a risk situation and a test is e.g. 12 weeks. However, a test also makes sense earlier, namely to obtain information about any previously existing sexually transmitted infections.
Was your test abnormal? You have known for a long time that you already have a sexually transmitted disease, but have not yet dared to go to a doctor? Or didn’t you know which one?
You can find an overview of the specialized practices and clinics for sexually transmitted diseases here.
