What is Testing Week?
It's your chance to get tested if you haven't done so in a while :)
From 20 to 26/11 ‧exaequo offers you daily opportunities to get tested for free in Brussels and Wallonia.
Testing week is over but we have a couple more dates in Wallonia : Ath, on December 6th; Charleroi on December 7th; Namur on December 13th

All our tests, for bi and gay men and for transgender people, are free, anonymous and with instant results. They give your status about HIV, syphilis and hepatitis C from 3 months prior the potential exposure.
If you have had syphilis in the past, we will not be able to carry out the syphilis test. If you have taken PrEP in the last 3 months, the HIV rapid test is not the most appropriate. If the result is positive, it means that you have been infected with HIV, but if the result is negative, it may be a false negative. If you are taking PrEP, we advise you to follow up with your referral centre or general practitioner.
If you think you took some risk through sex (penetrative sex without condoms or without PrEP) less than 3 days ago, you can go to a HIV clinic and ask for post exposition prophylaxis (PEP). ‧If taken in time, as soon as possible and within 72 hours at the most, this emergency treatment can still protect you from a risk of HIV infection. Call us for more information (+32 2 736 28 61) or visit this page.
