HIV Test Week 2025: Test anonymously in the Bamberg district now!
The HIV testing week in the Bamberg district is in full swing and is arousing strong interest among the population. Under the motto “Test now!” Health authorities, AIDS advice centers and AIDS help centers in Bavaria are offering anonymous and confidential HIV tests until November 30, 2025. This important initiative, launched by wiesentbote.de, aims to increase testing willingness and motivate people to find out their HIV status. Knowing early on whether you are affected can be the key to successful therapy.
A particular focus is on people with sexual risk behavior who can benefit greatly from this measure. In Bavaria, 99 percent of diagnosed HIV-positive people are already receiving therapy, and 96 percent have viral loads below the detection limit. This finding is part of the UNAIDS global initiative 95-95-95, which aims to have 95 percent of people infected with HIV know their status, 95 percent receive treatment and 95 percent achieve a suppressed viral load.
On-site help and support
The Bamberg Health Department is actively involved in this important campaign. From November 2nd to 30th, HIV tests can be carried out here free of charge and anonymously, and tests are also carried out for other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Anyone interested can make an appointment without obligation at 0951/85-651. The tests take place at the health department at Ludwigstrasse 25, entrance A, 2nd floor. Anonymity is the top priority in order to reduce inhibitions and allay the fears of those affected.
If you have any questions or individual concerns, trained advisors are available to provide helpful information and answers. It is crucial to address one's own health status, as many of those affected are unaware of their infection. Early testing can not only provide personal health benefits, but also prevent transmission of the virus to others.
Fundraising event for World AIDS Day
As part of HIV testing week, a benefit concert will take place in the Harmoniesaal in Bamberg on December 1, 2025, World AIDS Day, starting at 7:00 p.m. Admission is free, but donations are welcome. The aim of the concert is to send a signal of solidarity and hope and to draw attention to the importance of education and prevention. It is important to take responsibility - both for yourself and for others.
The website bamberg-meine-stadt.de offers comprehensive information about the HIV test week, which is available in eight languages and in plain language. Central coordination also takes place via the Bavarian Center for Prevention and Health Promotion at the LGL to ensure that everyone affected receives the support they need.
HIV remains a pressing global health problem that continues to claim millions of lives, according to the World Health Organization. However, regular testing and early therapy can significantly improve the course of the disease and stop the spread of the virus. Take advantage of this test week and get active!
