Action day in Memmingen: Free HIV tests and important information!
On December 22, 2025, a remarkable day of action will take place in Memmingen, which will be dedicated to raising awareness about HIV and sexually transmitted infections. This important day is organized by the Memmingen Health Department in collaboration with the AWO Center for AIDS Work Swabia. The aim is to increase health awareness and promote a responsible approach to one's own health, especially among students and teachers. The event takes place at the Johann Bierwirth School (JBS) and promises a wide range of information.
As part of the Bavarian HIV Test Weeks, information about the transmission routes of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases is provided. On-site experts explain the risks and at the same time offer anonymous testing options. The Memmingen Health Department offers rapid tests for HIV and hepatitis C through the AWO center, as well as HIV laboratory tests by a doctor from the health department. This enables citizens to be tested in a protected setting.
Prevention and education
In order to further raise awareness of the topic, the “LIEBESLEBEN” initiative, which was launched in 2016, runs parallel. This national campaign, which is the successor to the long-standing campaign “Don't give AIDS a chance”, aims to comprehensively promote sexual health and maintain the successes of previous years. Media and communication offerings, ranging from digital campaigns to personal advisory services, are part of the federal government's strategy to contain HIV, hepatitis and other STIs by 2030. This also includes creative poster campaigns and social media campaigns that specifically target over 95 percent of the total population.
It is important to emphasize that HIV tests are available anonymously and free of charge at all health authorities in Baden-Württemberg, including Stuttgart. It is recommended that you bring your vaccination certificate with you. The test results can provide information about the risk, although a distance of at least six weeks from the last risk contact should be maintained. Advice on other sexually transmitted infections is also part of the offer.
Easy accessibility
The anonymous and free testing campaign in Memmingen offers citizens the opportunity to protect their health without having to expect any uncertainty. Test appointments can be easily arranged at the health department from Monday to Wednesday, which represents a flexible and accessible solution for anyone interested.
Overall, the day of action in Memmingen and the nationwide campaigns such as “LIEBESLEBEN” show that prevention, education and support in dealing with risks in the area of sexual health are very important. The initiatives are a clear invitation to everyone to take responsibility for their own health and to find out about testing and prevention options.
