Checkpoint Initiative

This is a great initiative! If you are MSM (man having sex with men), you can get tested until the end of may for sexually transmitted infections, for as little as 30 CHF. In Checkpoint Zürich or at many other STI test centers (https://bit.ly/2IDevIC). As the main STIs are often asymptomatic in their earlier stage, MSM are strongly advised to get regularly tested.

Break the chains!

A lot of new HIV infections are passed on by men who believe that they are HIV-negative. When you get close to someone, it's easy to develop a certain level of trust and have sex without a condom. In this way, many men take risks without knowing it. People who are not aware that they have been infected with HIV unknowingly pass the virus on to others and become part of a chain reaction that could have been prevented.

In the first weeks in particular HIV is so infectious that one single unprotected encounter could result in an infection.
