Prevention, Testing and Treatment
The HIV Berodung (HIV counselling) service of the Luxembourg Red Cross is about promoting prevention of infectious diseases – from HIV, hepatitis C and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) – and promoting a living environment that meets the needs of those concerned. Founded in 1988 to support people with AIDS, the service is currently a national public health stakeholder in the prevention of HIV, hepatitis C and other STIs, as well as psychosocial care.
Condoms, screening, PrEP, PEP, TASP, risks reduction…
Today, there are many ways to protect yourself against HIV. The most important thing is to choose the prevention that suits you – without judgment or stigmatization. Whether in everyday life or in the evening, prevention must become a reflex, everywhere and for everyone.
The service offers telephone support and personalized consultations on safer sex, safer use, or managing a risky situation.
Tailored prevention sessions are also organized upon request for high schools, youth centers, or various target audiences, as well as training programs for staff working in social, medical, or educational organizations.
The participatory Roundabout AIDS program is held three times a year in high schools. Lastly, information and awareness campaigns and events serve as a reminder to the general public that these issues remain relevant today.
This project aims to address HIV-related topics in a fun and interactive way.
It encourages young people to draw on their skills and personal experiences, empowering them to become actively engaged in prevention efforts.
