Where can you get an STI test in Amsterdam?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Amsterdam offers several options for getting tested for STIs. The best-known option is the STI clinic at GGD Amsterdam, but you can also visit your GP or a private STI clinic. Alternatively, at-home STI tests<\/strong><\/a> are available, allowing you to collect your own sample (urine or a few drops of blood) and send it to an accredited laboratory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The GGD primarily serves people who meet the eligibility requirements for free testing. Your GP can provide testing and personalised medical advice. Private clinics generally offer paid testing services. An at-home STI test is particularly convenient if you want to decide for yourself where and when to take the test, without having to visit a clinic.<\/p>\n<\/div>

STI test Amsterdam GGD: where is the STI clinic located?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

GGD Amsterdam has a Sexual Health Centre where you can receive STI testing, information and advice about sexual health. The main STI clinic is located at Nieuwe Achtergracht 100 in central Amsterdam, within walking distance of Weesperplein metro station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The location is easily accessible from various parts of the city, including Amsterdam-East, Amsterdam-South, De Pijp and Amsterdam-West. Even if you live outside the city centre, you can visit this location provided you meet the eligibility requirements and have an appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Address of the GGD STI clinic in Amsterdam<\/strong>
Nieuwe Achtergracht 100
1018 WT Amsterdam<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Appointments and accessibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Regular STI testing at this GGD location is available by appointment only. You cannot simply walk in for a standard STI test without an appointment. You can check whether you qualify and request an appointment through the GGD Amsterdam website.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

What are the opening hours of GGD Amsterdam for STI testing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The STI clinic at GGD Amsterdam operates by appointment. Available days and times depend on the type of testing and the consultation you qualify for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For questions about test results, telephone support is available Monday to Friday, from 8:30 AM to 12:15 PM and from 1:00 PM to 4:30 PM. These are telephone service hours, not walk-in hours for the STI clinic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Is an STI test at GGD Amsterdam free?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An STI test at GGD Amsterdam is free for people who meet the eligibility requirements. The GGD focuses on groups with an increased risk of contracting an STI. This means that free testing is not automatically available to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, young people under the age of 25 and people with certain sexual risk factors may qualify. Symptoms that could indicate an STI or sexual contact with someone who has been diagnosed with an STI may also be reasons for testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you can actually make an appointment depends on the GGD’s current assessment. If you do not meet the requirements, you can get tested through your GP, a private STI clinic or with a reliable at-home STI test<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

How does an STI test at GGD Amsterdam work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once you have made an appointment at GGD Amsterdam, you will receive a confirmation with a QR code in advance. When you arrive at Nieuwe Achtergracht, you check in using a self-service kiosk. You then take a seat in the waiting area until you are called.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the type of test, you may receive materials to collect a urine sample or swab yourself. Sometimes additional blood testing is required. If you have symptoms, your appointment may also include a consultation or examination by a healthcare professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After testing, you will receive your results digitally as soon as they are available. For most tests, this takes a few days, although the exact processing time depends on the tests performed. For certain tests, results may already be available during your visit.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Can I get an STI test in Amsterdam without an appointment?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For a regular STI test at GGD Amsterdam, you must make an appointment in advance. The GGD also organises additional consultation sessions at certain locations and for specific target groups, such as young people who have questions about sexual health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Would you prefer not to make an appointment or visit a public testing location? An at-home STI test can be a practical solution. You don’t need to set aside time to travel to an STI clinic and can take the test whenever it suits you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With us, you can easily order an STI test online<\/a><\/strong> and have it delivered to your home address or collect it from an available pickup location.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Anonymous STI testing in Amsterdam<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not everyone feels comfortable visiting the GGD, their GP or a private clinic for an STI test. Perhaps you would rather avoid sitting in a waiting room, value your privacy or have little time during the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With our at-home STI tests, you don’t need to visit a physical testing location in Amsterdam. Simply order your preferred STI test online and receive a discreet test kit containing all the necessary materials and instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You collect the required sample yourself, such as urine, a swab or a small blood sample (a few drops), depending on the STI test you have chosen. You then send the sample free of charge to our ISO-accredited laboratory for analysis using the prepaid return envelope provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once your sample has been received and analysed, you can view your results in your secure online account. Results are generally available within 1 to 2 working days after your sample arrives at the laboratory.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

Which STIs can you test for at home?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can choose from our extensive range of STI tests. You can get tested for one specific STI or choose a combination test that screens for multiple STIs if you want more comprehensive testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tests are available for chlamydia, gonorrhoea, trichomonas, HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B and various types of mycoplasma and ureaplasma, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also offer combined STI tests, including our 2-in-1<\/strong><\/a>, 3-in-1<\/strong><\/a>, 9-in-1<\/strong><\/a> and 12-in-1 STI test<\/strong><\/a>. The most suitable STI test depends on factors such as the type of sexual contact, how much time has passed since the contact and which infections you want to be tested for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to consider the time between possible exposure and testing. Some STIs can only be reliably detected after a certain period.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

What is the difference between STI testing at GGD Amsterdam and Labtest.nl?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both GGD Amsterdam and Labtest.nl offer STI testing, but the way the tests are carried out differs. At the GGD, you visit a physical location where healthcare professionals are available. With us, you collect your sample yourself at home, and the analysis is performed by our accredited laboratory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main difference is accessibility and convenience. The GGD has eligibility requirements for free testing, and you need to make an appointment. At Labtest.nl, you can order a test kit without an appointment, regardless of whether you belong to a specific GGD target group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the GGD, you can receive personalised advice and treatment if necessary. We provide laboratory testing but do not offer physical examinations or personalised medical diagnoses. If you have symptoms or receive a positive test result, it is therefore important to contact a doctor.<\/p>\n<\/div>

STI test Amsterdam: how much does it cost?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The cost of an STI test in Amsterdam depends on where you get tested and which tests are required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the GGD, STI testing is only free if you meet the eligibility requirements. If you visit your GP, laboratory costs are generally subject to the deductible (eigen risico) of your Dutch health insurance. At private clinics, you usually pay for the test yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With us, you pay a fixed price upfront for the STI test of your choice. This means you can immediately see how much the STI test costs without having to wait for a bill through your health insurance provider. You can also decide whether you want to test for a single infection or multiple STIs at the same time. In addition, our STI tests are completely anonymous.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
