This local government initiative provides free, walk-in testing services for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), aiming to make healthcare more accessible to all—especially members of the LGBTQIA+ community. No appointments are necessary, allowing individuals to seek care on their own terms and timeline.

Beyond testing, the service includes confidential pre- and post-test counseling, ensuring that clients are informed, supported, and empowered throughout the entire process. Counselors take time to explain results, offer risk-reduction advice, and connect individuals to further medical or psychosocial support when needed.

A key strength of this initiative lies in its SOGIE-trained staff, who are sensitized to the diverse experiences of LGBTQIA+ clients. By fostering a nonjudgmental and affirming environment, the program helps remove fear and stigma often associated with sexual health services.

Whether someone is getting tested for the first time or returning for regular check-ups, this government-run service provides a safer, discreet, and inclusive option for those seeking quality care without fear of discrimination.
