AHF Checkpoint Amsterdam
Offers free and confidential rapid HIV testing, counseling and advice for all who need it. Tests are performed by qualified HIV testing counsellors using the most advanced rapid testing technology. Using a blood sample from the finger, the test detects if the blood contains HIV antibodies. You will receive an on-the-spot test result. Although the test is over 99% accurate, following a preliminary positive (reactive) result an additional test is required in a treatment center for diagnosis. Our counselors will always refer you to healthcare facilities in this case. Our counselors will offer their full support in this process. For further STI screening you will be referred to your GP or to a GGD STI polyclinic in your area of residence.

We also test on location in our mobile testing van and present on outdoor and indoor events to offer testing. Contact us if you want to know where you can get an HIV test close to you

It is the AHF Checkpoint’s mission to contribute to early detection and treatment of HIV in The Netherlands by offering rapid testing and counseling in a non-medical, low threshold setting. We offer confidential walk-in HIV testing in safe, non-judgmental environment, same-day results and referral to STI testing facilities. We work in the afternoons and evening, on weekends, at the time that works best for you.

Our rapid testing program is qualitatively overseen by the co-founders and coordinators of previous Checkpoint Amsterdam.

Since September 2018, we initiated a “pop-up” Checkpoint in Rotterdam which is open to the public every 2nd and last Wednesday. Like our Amsterdam Checkpoint, all our services are accessible for everybody, free, anonymous, non-judgemental and no appointment is needed. Please see the location tab on how to reach us.

The pop-up Checkpoint is a collaboration from AHF Europe, Stichting HIV Portaal Rotterdam and Stichting Humanitas.
